Ingredients
- 4 oz, chopped dark chocolate
- 4 oz, chopped milk chocolate
- 4 oz, chopped white chocolate
- 2 1/2 cups, divided heavy cream
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Divide 2 1/2 cups heavy cream into three bowls: 3/4 cup, 3/4 cup, and 1 cup. Heat each chocolate type separately in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until melted smooth.
- Step 2: Whip each 3/4 cup portion of heavy cream to soft peaks: one for dark chocolate, one for milk chocolate. Stir each whipped cream portion gently into the corresponding melted chocolate until fully combined.
- Step 3: Whip 3 large egg whites with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 pinch salt to stiff peaks. Fold half the egg whites into the white chocolate melted with 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp vanilla extract to make the white chocolate mousse.
- Step 4: In serving glasses, layer the dark chocolate mousse first, chill for 15 minutes, then add the milk chocolate mousse layer and chill another 15 minutes. Finally, top with the white chocolate mousse layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
