Ingredients
- Great reviews!
- *Start this recipe six hours to one day ahead.
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large egg whites
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
Whisk milk, egg yolks, and 2 tablespoons sugar in heavy small saucepan to blend. Place over medium-low heat and stir until mixture thickens enough to coat spoon, about 7 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Immediately add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla. Transfer mixture to medium bowl; cool to lukewarm, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
Beat egg whites and salt in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into cooled chocolate mixture in 3 additions.
Divide mousse among 6 goblets or transfer to serving bowl. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 6 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
Top mousse with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
Makes 6 servings.
