How to Make Chocolate Mousse Foolproof Version

  1. Grind 6 ounces (170g) of high-quality dark chocolate chips in a food processor or blender using short pulses until finely ground.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup (120ml) of boiling water to the ground chocolate while blending until completely melted and smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Add 3 large egg yolks, one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
  4. In a clean, dry medium bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, using a spatula and a folding motion to retain air. Be as delicate as possible.
  6. Divide the mousse evenly into wine glasses, dessert dishes, or other serving glasses. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream (cool whip) and a maraschino cherry.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and chilled. Enjoy!
