Recipe: Decadent Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
  • 4 large egg yolks,
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar,
  • 2 cups heavy cream,
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted,
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
Instructions
Beat the Egg Yolks and Sugar

Whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This is the base of your mousse, ensuring a smooth texture.

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip. Gently fold this into your egg mixture for airy mousse.

Melt the Chocolate

Gently melt the bittersweet chocolate and allow it to cool slightly before mixing. This adds the rich, chocolatey essence that’s essential to your mousse.

Combine and Chill

Finally, fold the chocolate and vanilla extract into your mousse base until well combined. Pour the mixture into serving dishes and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
