How to Make Easy Basic Chocolate Mousse
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces (113g) of bittersweet chocolate, melted, and 1/4 cup (59ml) of heavy cream. Gently whisk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1/4 cup (50g) of granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a clean bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes or use as a cake filling.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set completely.
