How to Make French Chocolate Mousse
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 3 large egg yolks and whisk until light and fluffy.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup milk. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In another clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar while beating until glossy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, followed by the stiffly beaten egg whites. Fold until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Garnish and enjoy!
