How to Make Easy Chocolate Mousse
- Finely chop 6 ounces of good quality dark chocolate.
- Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of hot water over the chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
- Gently stir the chocolate and water mixture until smooth and creamy. If necessary, microwave in 15 second increments until fully melted and smooth.
- Discard any remaining water that has not mixed in.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
- Gently fold the egg yolks into the melted chocolate until combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted margarine or butter.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set.
