The Best Chocolate Mousse Recipe by Baker By Nature

Ingredients:
– 8 ounces high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 4 large eggs, separated
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt

Instructions:
1. Begin by melting the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

2. While the chocolate mixture is cooling, separate the egg yolks from the whites, ensuring there are no traces of yolk in the whites. Place the egg yolks in a bowl and set aside.

3. In a separate clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue to whisk until glossy peaks are achieved. This will provide airiness to the mousse.

4. Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the bowl of egg yolks and mix until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and silky.

5. In another mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until it reaches soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it should be light and fluffy.

6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined. Then, carefully fold in the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Take your time to ensure the mousse remains light and airy.

7. Transfer the chocolate mousse into individual serving glasses or a large serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set beautifully.

8. Before serving, you can optionally garnish the chocolate mousse with shaved chocolate, a dusting of cocoa powder, or fresh berries for a touch of elegance and flavor contrast.
