Instructions:
- Chop or break the milk chocolate into small pieces and set aside in a heatproof bowl.
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another. Ensure the bowls are clean and dry.
- Place the heatproof bowl with the chocolate over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Once melted, remove the chocolate from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Set the whipped cream aside in the refrigerator until needed.
- Gradually add the egg yolks to the slightly cooled melted chocolate, mixing well to combine. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
- In another clean mixing bowl, start to beat the egg whites on medium speed. Gradually add the sugar while beating.
- Continue to beat the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate and yolk mixture using a spatula until well combined.
- Next, gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; fold until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and thoroughly chilled.
- Once fully set, garnish with optional toppings like whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure that the chocolate is melted gently to prevent it from burning. You can use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between.
- Separate the eggs carefully and whip the egg whites to stiff peaks for the mousse to achieve a light and airy texture.
- Be gentle when folding the whipped cream and egg whites into the chocolate mixture to maintain the mousse's airy consistency.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set properly.
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate mixture.
With its smooth texture and rich chocolate flavor, this Chocolate Mousse recipe is a delightful way to end any meal. Serve it chilled and garnish with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for an extra special touch. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess in every bite!
