Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Begin by preparing the crunchy shell: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter, mixing until well combined. Spoon the mixture into silicone molds, pressing firmly to create a shell at the bottom and sides. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While the shells set, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks into the slightly cooled chocolate until well combined.
- Gently fold half of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Then fold in the remaining egg whites, followed by the cocoa powder until no streaks remain.
- Carefully spoon the chocolate mousse mixture into each prepared biscuit shell, leveling the tops as you go.
- Chill the mousse cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow them to set.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for added crunch and earthiness. Optionally, add dollops of whipped cream and garnish with mint leaves.
