Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate (sugar-free, minimum 70% cocoa)
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 3 pieces large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl along with the unsalted butter. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of granulated erythritol until the mixture becomes pale and thick. Slowly whisk the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
In another clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining tablespoon of erythritol and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture one third at a time, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until it reaches soft peaks.
Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate and egg mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnish with cocoa powder, grated chocolate, or a dollop of whipped cream for decoration.
