Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
5 eggs
250g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Butter and Eggs:
- Cut the butter into small cubes and set it aside to soften at room temperature.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a medium mixing bowl and the whites in a separate large mixing bowl.
2. Whip the Cream:
- In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Once done, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
3. Beat the Egg Yolks:
- Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar to the egg yolks.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
4. Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the softened butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until it is fully melted.
- Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before incorporating it into the egg yolk mixture.
5. Combine the Butter and Egg Yolks:
- Gradually add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly until well combined.
6. Whip the Egg Whites:
- Clean and dry the beaters before moving on to the egg whites.
- Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks. This process might take around 3-5 minutes.
7. Incorporate the Egg Whites:
- Gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it. Use a rubber spatula and fold in a circular motion until just combined.
- Gradually fold in the remaining egg whites in two more stages, being careful to retain as much air in the mixture as possible.
8. Combine Everything:
- Retrieve the whipped cream from the refrigerator.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg and butter mixture until there are no streaks remaining. The batter should be smooth and airy.
9. Chill the Mousse:
- Transfer the mousse to individual serving bowls or a large serving dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until set.
10. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once set, you can garnish the chocolate mousse with a dusting of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, creamy texture of Madeleine's Chocolate Mousse!

Tips:

- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps them blend together more smoothly.

- When melting the butter, do it slowly over low heat to prevent burning.

- Separate the egg whites and yolks carefully to ensure no yolk gets into the whites, as this will affect how well they whip.

- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks for the perfect mousse texture.

- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to maintain its airy consistency.

- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal texture and flavor.

In just a few steps, you can create Madeleine's chocolate mousse, a delightful and indulgent dessert that everyone will enjoy. Its rich chocolatey flavor and light, creamy texture make it the perfect ending to any meal. Follow the tips provided for the best results, and enjoy this delicious treat with friends and family.
