How to Make Heavens Chocolate Mousse
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, combine 6 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate, 1/4 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Melt the chocolate and butter completely, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool for 10 minutes.
- In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 3 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of water.
- Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture reaches 160°F (71°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 1-2 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Gently whisk the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined.
- Place the saucepan in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir the mixture constantly until it cools completely and thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Spoon the mousse into individual dessert dishes or glasses.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
