Dark Chocolate Mousse
- Level: Easy
- Total: 3 hr 25 min (includes chilling time)
- Active: 25 min
- Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Mousse:
1/2 cup chopped chocolate (72 percent)
1 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
Toppings:
Whipped cream, for serving
Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Directions
- For the mousse: Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a water bath, making sure the water is not boiling. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.
- Place the egg yolks in a small bowl and set over the same water bath to slightly heat while beating them with a whisk. Add the sugar to the yolks and then transfer the mixture to a stand mixer set up with the whisk attachment. Beat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the yolks double in size, about 5 minutes. Carefully fold the chocolate into the yolks. Lastly, fold in the whipped cream. Divide the mixture among 4 serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- For the toppings: Just before serving, top with some whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
