Ingredients
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate baking bars finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 4 large egg yolks room temperature
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar plus 2 teaspoons, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large egg whites room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently. Pour the heated cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. Whisk the mixture gently until smooth, set it aside to cool slighty.
- Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl along with three tablespoons of granulated sugar and the vanilla extract. Whip the mixture with a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until it becomes pale and creamy.
- In a separate clean, grease-free bowl, combine the egg whites, 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, and the salt. Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take around 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold the yolk mixture into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Then, carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Use a spatula and work gently to keep the mousse light and airy.
- Once the mousse is fully combined and smooth, divide it into individual serving glasses, ramekins, or bowls. Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until the mousse is set and chilled.
- When chilled, serve the mousse as is or top with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
