Time 3h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup chopped chocolate (72 percent)
1 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
Whipped cream, for serving
Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the mousse: Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a water bath, making sure the water is not boiling. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.
  • Place the egg yolks in a small bowl and set over the same water bath to slightly heat while beating them with a whisk. Add the sugar to the yolks and then transfer the mixture to a stand mixer set up with the whisk attachment. Beat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the yolks double in size, about 5 minutes. Carefully fold the chocolate into the yolks. Lastly, fold in the whipped cream. Divide the mixture among 4 serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  • For the toppings: Just before serving, top with some whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
