Ingredients

8 oz (2x {4 oz}) of your favorite Chocolate Bar, chopped or broken into pieces (we like 70% Dark)
4 large Eggs (yolk and white separated)
1-2 Tablespoons extra-fine White Sugar (optional)*

*If you are using a sweet Chocolate Bar there is no need for any sugar but if you are using Dark Chocolate and you want it a little sweeter then add a tablespoon or 2 of sugar.

Procedure

In a heatproof bowl and over barely simmering water, melt the chopped/broken chocolate. Make sure that the bowl does not touch the water. Remove the bowl from the heat. I always use this method but you can also use the microwave to melt the chocolate.

While you are melting the chocolate you can also begin the process of making the meringue/egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle the sugar, if using, over the egg whites and continue to beat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture looks glossy. Do not overbeat.

Here’s a  quick video link on how to beat egg whites to soft peaks for reference.

In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and then slowly stir into the hot chocolate.

Fold the meringue gently into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. Do this slowly until everything is mixed thoroughly. Divide the mixture into several glasses or small bowls and chill overnight. I recommend overnight chilling because the chocolate tends to sweeten if left for that amount of time and tastes oh so heavenly afterward! 🙂

Chilling will harden the chocolate so allow the Chocolate Mousse to soften by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!!!
