How to Make Cocoa Chocolate Mousse With Egg Whites

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large, clean, grease-free bowl of an electric mixer, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) sour cream, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the sour cream mixture in three additions using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Fold until just combined.
  5. Divide the mousse evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins or small dessert bowls.
  6. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably 2-3 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set completely.
