Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups chocolate wafers, crushed (1 package)
1/2 cup butter, melted
16 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 eggs, beaten
4 eggs, divided
3 cups whipping cream, divided
7 1/2 tablespoons icing sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Crust: Mix chocolate wafers and butter. Press on bottom and sides of a 10" springform pan. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Filling: In a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate; let cool to lukewarm. Add a little of the chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs, then pour into the chocolate. Add 4 egg yolks and beat well.
  • Whip 2 cups cream with 6 T icing sugar till soft peaks form.
  • Beat 4 egg whites until stiff but not dry.
  • Stir 1/4 each of the egg whites and the cream into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining whites and cream. Pour onto the crust and chill at least 6 hours or overnight.

  • Spread some of the cream over top of the mousse. Garnish with chocolate sprinkles or curls -- strawberries or raspberries -- or a berry coulis.
