Death Chocolate Mousse
Check out this decadent beauty:
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more), chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Start by melting the dark chocolate and butter together. You can do this in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth and melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and thick. Then, gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft peaks. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Make sure to be gentle to keep that airy texture!
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Once combined, spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses. Cover them and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight chilling is even better if you can wait!
- When you’re ready to serve, you can top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for that extra flair!
