Ingredients

5 1/4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
14 ounces cold heavy cream
3 large egg whites
1-ounce sugar
Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish, optional
Shaved bittersweet chocolate, for garnish, optional

Directions

Place chocolate in a large bowl set over a bain marie or in a double boiler at a low simmer. Stir chocolate until melted. Turn off the heat and let stand.

Beat the cream over ice until it forms soft peaks. Set aside and hold at room temperature. With a mixer, whip egg to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar and continue whipping until firm.

Remove the chocolate from the bain marie and using a whisk, fold in the egg whites all at once. When the whites are almost completely incorporated, fold in the whipped cream. Cover the mousse and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour or until set. Serve in goblets topped with more whipped cream and shaved chocolate, if desired.

Rich and Delish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am a long time cook but not baker and this recipe was easy and turned out very well. I used 3/4 bittersweet and the rest... semi-sweet after reading some of the reviews. I layered the mousse in a trifle with white cake, crushed heath bars and whipped cream!Read more

Very Good, Very Easy, Very Fast! Next time I will either use white chocolate or less chocolate, because it is very rich! ... But rich is good too!!Read more

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This chocolate mousse recipe is the best I have ever used. To add texture, I grated bittersweet chocolate and folded it in... with the mousse, adding berries as a garnish makes it even more delicious!!!!!Read more

The best!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best Chocolate Mousse! I have to admit I was concerned it wouldn't be "good enough" because it wasn't as fancy... as the other recipes I've seen. But this is perfect - just like from a wonderful restaurant. I can't wait to serve it to my guests!Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This mousse tastes Great! This recipe was quick and easy! I made parfaits for a party for teens and they loved it. Pouring... the mousse into a large ziploc bag then refrigerating made it easy to fill the glasses. I made a batch with bitter-sweet chocolate and one with milk chocolate then layered them in pilsner glasses with whip cream on top. Several parents wanted the recipe after the party.Read more
