Cooking Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!

    This 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.
