Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 300 ml heavy cream (cold)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 units large eggs (separated)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate gently by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer, whip the cold heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and pale in color.

Step 5

Gradually stir the melted chocolate into the yolk mixture, blending until well combined.

Step 6

In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.

Step 8

Next, fold in the beaten egg whites, one-third at a time, being careful to maintain the mousse’s light and airy texture.

Step 9

Divide the mousse evenly among serving glasses or bowls, smoothing the tops if needed.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) until set.

Step 11

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
