How to Make Sinful Chocolate Mousse Dessert
- Melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of sugar until pale and thick.
- Whisk the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes or a larger bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries before serving (optional).
