Easy Chocolate Mousse
Made with just a few key ingredients, this easy chocolate mousse is the ultimate chocolate lover’s post-meal sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 250 grams dark chocolate plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, placing the yolks in a small bowl and the whites in a large bowl fitted for a stand mixer or hand mixer. Whip the egg whites on high until stiff peaks form and set aside.
- In a medium or large saucepan, melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring regularly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate quickly until smooth. Add the vanilla and whisk again. Using a spatula, gently fold in the whipped egg whites in two or three batches, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the chocolate mousse into 6 small cups and refrigerate for 2 hours. If desired, use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to grate chocolate shavings over mousse before serving. Store in the refrigerator.
