Chocolate Mousse with Whipped Cream

Chocolate Mousse

Step 1: Prepare the chocolate and eggs [00:00]

Start by chopping a large block of chocolate. Separate the yolks from the egg whites and whisk the yolks with sugar until well combined.

Step 2: Melt the chocolate and combine [00:03]

In a saucepan over heat, melt the chopped chocolate. Once melted, pour it into the egg yolk and sugar mixture and mix well.

Step 3: Whip the egg whites and fold [00:09]

Using an electric mixer, fluff up the egg whites. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten the texture.

Step 4: Add whipped cream and chill [00:15]

Separately, whip some cream until it peaks, then fold it into the chocolate mixture to add richness. Mix until smooth.

Step 5: Serve [00:23]

Transfer the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate until nicely set. Before serving, top with an extra dollop of whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
