Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsweetened dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 300 ml heavy cream (full fat)
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop the unsweetened dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it either in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, or using a double boiler over simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whip 200 ml of the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Place in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
Separate the egg whites and yolks. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract until pale and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until evenly combined.
Using a spatula, fold in the whipped cream in two additions, being careful not to overmix to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites in three additions, gently combining until no streaks remain.
Divide the mousse into 4 individual serving dishes or glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until set.
Just before serving, whip the remaining 100 ml of heavy cream to soft peaks and use it to garnish the mousse, if desired.
