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.

Very tasty, but not the color I wanted
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm not sure if it's my fault or the recipe--my mousse was a very light brown color. I would have liked it to look more... chocolatey. Did anyone else have this issue?Read more

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
