Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate
    Melt the dark chocolate using a bain-marie or microwave. If using the microwave, stir the chocolate regularly to prevent burning.
  2. Beat the eggs
    Place the egg whites in a clean bowl. Add the salt and beat until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the egg whites are stiff.
  3. Mix eggs and chocolate
    Stir the egg yolks into the melted chocolate. Fold in half of the beaten egg whites, then gently fold in the rest until the mixture becomes a light chocolate mousse.
  4. Add the mousse to containers
    Spoon the mousse into containers or glasses and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  5. Grate chocolate
    Use a box grater with the side that has the finest holes for grating your chocolate, and add it on top of your mousse.
  6. Add fruit when serving
    A suggestion when serving your mousse is to top it with some fruit to give it an extra flavour
