Ingredients
3
Ounces
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Pieces
3
Eggs
separated
1
teaspoon
Vanilla
Instructions
Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a double boiler over boiling water.
Remove the chocolate from the heat and beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
Stir in the vanilla.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until combined completely.
Spoon into dessert glasses.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
When beating egg whites, use a whisk attachment on a stand mixer for best results. I used the highest speed and stiff peaks formed within 2 minutes.
Folding in the egg whites will take about 5-10 minutes.
Use a cookie scoop to spoon the mousse into dessert glasses for easy transfer.
