Ingredients
- 6 oz dark chocolate
- 6 oz white chocolate
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/8 tsp pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Chop 6 oz dark chocolate finely and place in a heatproof bowl. Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer, then pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cooled dark chocolate mixture until combined and smooth.
- Step 3: Beat 3 large egg whites with 1/8 tsp salt in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the dark chocolate mousse in three additions, preserving the airy texture.
- Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 with 6 oz white chocolate and assemble the mousse layers by spooning half of the dark chocolate mousse into serving glasses, chilling for 15 minutes, then layering the white chocolate mousse on top. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
