Rich, airy, and indulgently smooth, this chocolate mousse melts in your mouth with every spoonful. Made with semisweet chocolate for a balanced flavor that’s not too bitter, not too sweet.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Optional: Whipped cream and raspberries
Instructions
Steps:
1. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with water; stir until smooth. Stir a small amount of
hot chocolate mixture into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2
minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Quickly transfer to a
small bowl. Stir occasionally until completely cooled.
2. In a small bowl, beat whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks
form. Fold into cooled chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If desired,
garnish with whipped cream and raspberries.
