How to Make Black Forest Chocolate Mousse Shots

  1. Melt 150g of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of Kirsch. Gently fold this mixture into the melted chocolate along with 4 tablespoons of heavy cream.
  3. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  4. Spoon the mousse mixture into 6 shot glasses or small dessert cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  5. Lightly whip the remaining 100ml of heavy cream with 1/2 tablespoon of Kirsch until soft peaks form.
  6. Dollop the whipped cream on top of each mousse and garnish with a fresh cherry. Serve immediately and enjoy!
