Description
Easy, simple chocolate mousse with no added sugar (except what’s in the chocolate you use), takes 5 minutes to prep and always tastes fancy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 egg whites
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate
Instructions
- Melt dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double broiler. Set aside to cool a little.
- In a large bowl, add heavy cream. Using a beater, whip to stiff peaks. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, add egg whites. Be careful not to add and yolks, if a little gets in, get it out with a spoon. The egg yolk will prevent your egg whites from whipping up fluffy, so make sure to watch for that!
- Now beat your egg whites to stiff peaks.
- Pour the melted/cooled dark chocolate into the egg whites and carefully fold in to incorporate.
- Add whipped cream to the egg whites, and fold again. Be gentle, you don’t want to roughly mix it, just easy folds until it’s all mixed in.
- Spoon it into your serving glasses and place in the fridge to set for at least an hour. Two is better 🙂
- Enjoy!
