Instructions

  1. Melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, followed by the beaten egg whites, until just combined. Be gentle to keep the mousse light and airy.
  7. Spoon the mousse into individual serving cups or glasses.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Notes
