A rich yet airy homemade chocolate mousse made with dark chocolate, whipped cream, and eggs. Smooth, elegant, and deeply chocolatey, this no-bake dessert feels luxurious with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 170 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the dark chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  2. Separate the eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  5. Beat the egg whites with salt and sugar until soft, glossy peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
  7. Carefully fold in the egg whites, working slowly to keep the mixture airy.
  8. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Pasteurized eggs can be used if preferred.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the mousse light and airy.
