Servings 4
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.
