🍫 Classic Chocolate Mousse

A light yet intensely chocolatey dessert with an airy, silky texture. Simple ingredients — big payoff!

Why It’s Special:
âś… Only a few ingredients
âś… Rich but airy texture
âś… Elegant and easy

Ingredients:

  • 150g dark chocolate (good quality)
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions:
1. Melt Chocolate:
Gently melt chocolate over a double boiler or microwave. Let cool slightly.

2. Beat Yolks:
Whisk egg yolks with half the sugar until creamy.

3. Beat Whites:
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar; beat until stiff and glossy.

4. Fold Gently:
Mix melted chocolate into the yolk mixture. Gently fold in beaten egg whites (and whipped cream if using) — don’t overmix!

5. Chill:
Spoon into serving cups. Refrigerate at least 2–3 hours.

Serve Cold:
Optional: Top with shaved chocolate, berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for Perfect Mousse:
âś… Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
âś… Fold very gently to keep it airy.
âś… Use best-quality chocolate for best flavor.
