Ingredients:
– 7 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
– 4 large eggs, separated
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Pinch of salt
– Optional: whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by melting the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth and completely melted. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale and creamy. Gradually pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth incorporation. Set aside.
3. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it can become grainy.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined and no streaks remain. Then, carefully fold in the whipped egg whites in batches, being mindful not to deflate the mixture.
6. Divide the chocolate mousse mixture into individual serving cups or glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the mousse to set.
7. Before serving, garnish each chocolate mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
