Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sugar substitute (erythritol or stevia)
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate. Place the chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter have melted completely and are well combined. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the sugar substitute to taste; adjust according to sweetness preference.
Step 3
In another clean bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are thick and pale. Gradually fold these into the cooled chocolate mixture until evenly combined.
Step 4
In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks.
Step 5
Fold the whipped cream gently into the chocolate mixture to maintain volume. Finally, fold the egg whites gently into the chocolate mixture as well, being careful not to deflate.
Step 6
Transfer the mousse into individual serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a few fresh berries for an added touch.
