Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Begin by melting the dark chocolate. Place it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. Add the cooled chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula until no streaks remain.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, ensuring to maintain the airy texture.
- Spoon the mousse into serving cups or shot glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, top each mousse cup with a spoonful of your chosen fruit jam and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch.
