Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Finely chop chocolate; reserve. In a double boiler, whisk yolks, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes. Off heat, quickly whisk in chopped chocolate until melted and cocoa until smooth (mixture will be thick). Cool to room temperature.
  • In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Whisk half of whipped cream into room-temperature chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Divide mousse among four serving dishes. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Remove mousse from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with shaved chocolate.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate mousse, but this one is pretty good. It's not too sweet and has a nice, light texture. I would definitely make it again.

I was a bit skeptical about making a mousse without eggs, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the flavor was rich and chocolatey. I will definitely be making this again.

This mousse is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make it.
