Ingredients
- 170 grams Dark chocolate (100% cocoa or sugar-free chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 3 large Eggs (separated)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or Erythritol
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by melting the dark chocolate. Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, stevia or erythritol, and salt until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and half of the stevia-cocoa mixture. Whisk together until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
Step 4
Slowly fold the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 5
In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the remaining stevia-cocoa mixture until combined.
Step 6
Fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no streaks remain.
Step 7
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 8
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 9
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
