Steps:
- Mousse:
- Heat chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water), stirring occasionally, until chocolate and butter are melted and well blended, about 5 minutes. Set chocolate mixture aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Using electric mixer with clean beaters, beat egg whites and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in another medium bowl until medium-stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Using a large spatula, gently fold egg yolk mixture into chocolate mixture until no streaks remain. Starting in the center of the mixture and working your way toward the edges of the bowl, gently fold egg whites into chocolate mixture (make sure to scrape up from the bottom), rotating bowl as you go, until no streaks remain (this will incorporate the egg whites without deflating them; you don't want to lose volume).
- Divide mousse among ramekins, smooth surface, and chill at least 4 hours.
- Do Ahead
- Mousse can be made 4 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled. Topping and assembly Whip cream and sugar in a medium bowl until medium peaks form.

[email protected]This mousse was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sugar.

[email protected]This mousse was amazing! It was so light and airy, and the chocolate flavor was intense. I loved the contrast between the smooth mousse and the crunchy chocolate shavings on top. I will definitely be making this again.

[email protected]This mousse was easy to make and turned out great! I used a 60% dark chocolate, and the mousse had a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries, and it was a hit with my family.

Hello Welcome

[email protected]This mousse was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a semisweet chocolate instead of a dark chocolate.
