Make effortlessly velvety mousse in six easy steps.
Ingredients:
200g dark cooking chocolate, finely chopped
25g butter
3eggs, separated, at room temperature
4.40 gm vanilla extract
310ml (11 ⁄4 cups) thickened cream
Instructions:
Combine the chocolate, butter, and 60ml (1⁄4 cup) cream in a large heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until melted. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Gently combine egg yolks and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture using a metal spoon, being careful not to overmix to prevent the chocolate from hardening.
Beat the remaining cream in a bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form, making sure the cream just clings to the beaters when lifted.
Using a metal spoon, delicately combine half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Gradually fold in the remaining cream.
Beat the egg whites using electric beaters in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form, with the peaks curving slightly when the beaters are lifted.
Gently fold in half of the egg white into the chocolate mixture, followed by the remaining egg white. Divide the mixture among 6 glasses, cover, and chill in the fridge for 3 hours to set.
