Ingredients

  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped fine
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Dark shaved chocolate, for garnish

Directions

Melt the chocolate by adding to a bowl placed over simmering water and stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.

Whisk together the egg yolks, 4 tablespoons sugar, 3/4 cup heavy cream and a pinch of salt in a medium 2-quart curved bottom saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture is thick, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the chocolate and vanilla. Strain the mixture into a large bowl using a fine mesh sieve and place in the refrigerator until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Beat the remaining 1 cup heavy cream and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled chocolate. Divide the mousse evenly among 4 individual serving dishes and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. Serve with shaved chocolate.

    It was quick, it was easy, it was great! I added a bit of Bailey's to the chocolate and it was a hit at our dinner party.
