Photo: Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe
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.

I made this twice. The first time was a trial to see if it was something I wanted to serve at a baby shower. I found that the mousse was really not all that decadent and really needed to be more chocolatey. So the second time that I made it I added two different types of chocolate - semi sweet and bittersweet. This time it had more chocolate flavor. I didn't get many comments on this dessert, so will not be making it again and will be removing it from my FN recipe box. Sorry Bobby =(

By far the easiest, best tasting chocolate mousse recipe. So good you would think that Bobby Flay invented it!
