Ice cream and chilled desserts
A classic French-style chocolate mousse made with dark chocolate and cream, with an airy, velvety texture. This elegant chilled dessert uses just a few ingredients and is suitable for everyday meals or entertaining.
Melt the chopped chocolate with the butter in a double boiler over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Whip the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the chocolate mixture in three additions, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
Gently fold in the whipped cold cream. Divide the mousse among serving cups and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Important: Melt the chocolate over low heat in a double boiler; it can burn if placed directly over the heat. Allergens: contains eggs and dairy. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
