Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Dark Chocolate Mousse.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup of white sugar with 4 egg yolks. Beat them together until well blended.
Step 2
Melt 6 ounces of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals and stirring after each interval until smooth, which should take about 1 to 3 minutes. Gradually add 3/4 stick of butter to the melted chocolate, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated. Then, fold this chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat 4 egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue beating for an additional 2 minutes until glossy and firm.
Step 4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Mix until just combined, ensuring a light and airy texture.
Step 5
Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for the best results.
