RICH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:
- Melt chocolate and butter in a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, gently stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, beat yolks in a small bowl with an electric mixer until thick enough to form a ribbon that takes a few seconds to dissolve, 2 to 4 minutes. Whisk yolks into chocolate mixture along with Cognac, then cool to warm.
- Beat cream in a medium bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Beat whites with salt in another bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold soft peaks.
- Fold whipped cream and beaten whites into chocolate mixture gently but thoroughly. Transfer to stemmed glasses, 4-ounces ramekins, or a serving dish.
