Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt 4 oz chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth and glossy; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp granulated sugar and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract in a bowl until soft peaks form; set aside.
  3. Step 3: Stir 2 tbsp champagne into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated, then fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream gently using a spatula until no streaks remain.
  4. Step 4: Fold in the remaining whipped cream in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture, until just combined and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Divide the mousse into 2 glasses, smoothing the tops; refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
  6. Step 6: While mousse chills, blend 1 cup fresh raspberries, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp lemon juice in a blender until smooth; strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  7. Step 7: Just before serving, drizzle raspberry coulis over each mousse portion and garnish with a single fresh raspberry.
