Comment préparer The Best Chocolate Mousse
- Place the chopped chocolate and milk in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool slightly to lukewarm.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale, thick, and creamy (about 5-7 minutes using a stand mixer or 10 minutes by hand).
- Gradually whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- In a clean bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- In a separate clean bowl, using clean beaters, whip the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold about one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
- Garnish with grated chocolate (optional) before serving chilled.
