Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Use high-quality cream for best results.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Quality chocolate makes a world of difference!
  • 2 large egg whites Room temperature eggs are preferred.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Gradually add to egg whites while beating.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between until smooth. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  3. In another bowl, combine the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Beat until soft peaks form and gradually add sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
  4. Gently fold the cooled chocolate into the whipped cream, being cautious not to deflate the mixture. Once well blended, fold in the whipped egg whites until no streaks remain.
  5. Spoon the mousse into mini dessert cups and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serving
