2. Cooking Directions
- Finely chop chocolate; reserve. In a double boiler, whisk yolks, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes. Off heat, quickly whisk in chopped chocolate until melted and cocoa until smooth (mixture will be thick). Cool to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Whisk half of whipped cream into room-temperature chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Divide mousse among four serving dishes. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Remove mousse from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with shaved chocolate.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
For a simple garnish, shave chocolate from the side of a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler.
Notes:
Note
To store mousse, place a paper towel under the plastic wrap (without touching mousse) before sealing for refrigeration. The paper towel will absorb the drops of condensation that might otherwise drip onto the surface.

Absolutely fantastic!
pfisher13321 - February 15, 2008 03:53:47 PM PSTThis is so simple and yet so delicious. I wasn't thinking about the fat and calories when eating it. I made it for Valentine's Day and my boyfriend loved it. Looks lovely when served in martini glasses with shaved chocolate over the top and some ribbon around the stem.
