Chocolate Mousse
This rich and airy chocolate mousse is the perfect balance of creamy, light, and deeply chocolatey. Made with simple ingredients and no baking required, it’s an elegant dessert that feels fancy but comes together effortlessly.
Ingredients
- 200 g semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 3 large eggs separated
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate gently and let it cool slightly.
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with sugar until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, whip the cream with vanilla until thick.
- Stir the yolks into the cooled chocolate, then gently fold in the whipped cream followed by the egg whites.
- Spoon into serving glasses and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate (70% cocoa). You can prepare the mousse a day ahead—it keeps well covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries before serving.
