Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 3 pieces large eggs, separated
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 200 milliliters heavy cream (whipping cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams mixed dark fruits (e.g., blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or cherries)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it with the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is glossy and holds stiff peaks. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks, then whisk them into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mousse mixture in three separate additions, using a spatula to preserve the airiness.
Toss the mixed dark fruits with the powdered sugar in a small bowl to lightly coat them.
Spoon a small layer of the chocolate mousse into individual serving glasses. Add a layer of the sugared dark fruits as a surprise center, then top with more mousse to fill the glasses.
Smooth the tops and refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours to set.
Garnish with additional dark fruits, grated chocolate, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
