Print Recipe
Ingredients
5 1/4
oz
bittersweet or dark chocolate, chopped coarsely
14
oz
heavy cream
3
large
egg whites
1
oz
sugar
Additional shaved chocolate, for garnish
Whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions
Place chocolate in a large heat-safe bowl, microwave or set over a double boiler at a low simmer.
Microwave or stir chocolate until melted. Take off the heat and let stand.
Beat the cream over ice until it forms soft caps. Set aside and leave at room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whip egg to soft caps. Slowly add the sugar and continue whipping until firm.
Remove the chocolate from the microwave or double boiler 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.
Evenly split into serving dishes and top with more whipped cream and shaved chocolate, if desired.
Serve.
Notes
Try adding raspberries or other fruit on top for a twist.
