The one and only chocolate mousse I ever make. Just three ingredients, no added sugar, and it’s done. This recipe keeps impressing my guests every single time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 oz (200g) dark chocolate, at 60% cocoa
  • 1 large Tablespoon (20g) salted butter
  • 6 large eggs, whites and yolks apart
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate and butter over low-medium heat until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Add the yolks, one at a time, to the chocolate, stirring well between each increment.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Add about 1/3 of the whites to the melted chocolate to make it softer in texture, then incorporate the chocolate to the whites in two or three additions, stirring gently with a wooden spoon.
  5. Pour the mousse into a serving bowl or individual ramekins and let cool in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before servings.
