Here is an easy to make mousse that I enjoy on a regular basis. It only uses 2 things - dark chocolate & eggs (chicken eggs work great for this
)
To start with take 4 chicken eggs & separate the whites & yolks.
Here they are ready to go. I busted one of the yolks when I poured it but that won't hurt anything.
Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks
Here is the dark chocolate I use. Hershey's special dark - giant size bar. You will need half of this.
Break the bar in half & melt it.
Quickly mix the chocolate with the egg yolks.
& add to the egg whites.
If I'm feeling "traditional" I'll fold the chocolate mixture in but I usually just keep going with the mixer & combine well.
Add to containers or cups & chill very well before eating. Here it is right after mixing & ready to go in the fridge to set up.
After setting up & ready for consumption.
& this is what you end up with - very good stuff!
NOTE: I get 3 servings out of this - if you really like mousse or need more than 3 servings I would double this recipe & use 8 chicken eggs along with the whole chocolate bar.
