Ingredients:

  • Take half cup of chopped dark chocolate

  • 1 small pinch of salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon of granulated white sugar
  • Half cup of chilled whipping cream

Method to Prepare:

  • Take a saucepan and heat some water in it.
  • Now, take one heatproof bowl and add chocolate, butter, 2 tablespoons of water, and one pinch of salt in it. Set this bowl carefully over the hot water.

  • Take a chilled metal bowl and add half cup of chilled whipping cream in it. Whisk the cream constantly until it attains soft peaks.
  • Now, add half of this cream into a bowl of chocolate mixture and gently mix it into the chocolate. Now, add the remaining half cream into the chocolate mixture and again mix it gently until all lines of the cream disappear.
  • Divide this mousse equally into 4 ramekins. Cover them with plastic wrap and keep them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to enjoy chilled chocolate mousse.
