How to Make Chocolate Amaretto Mousse

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is just simmering.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate and amaretto until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and frothy.
  4. Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture. Then, pour the tempered yolks into the remaining chocolate mixture and whisk until combined.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  6. Divide the mousse among individual serving glasses or ramekins.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
  8. Before serving, garnish with shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or amaretto-soaked cherries (optional).
