Instructions

  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie. Then set it aside until it cools down. Be careful, it must not cool and set.
  2. Separate the eggs.
  3. Pour the egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk them with a pinch of salt.
  4. Once the chocolate is lukewarm, add the egg yolks and beat vigorously with a whisk for 2 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in 2 or 3 batches, lifting gently and above all without stirring, so as not to break the egg foam and make them fall.
  6. Pour the mousse into ramekins or cups, and leave to rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2½ hours before serving.
