I wanted a recipe that used the whole egg and not just egg whites. I hate to waste and didn't feel like doing another recipe for just egg yolks. This is the perfect mousse recipe!

Steps

1

Break chocolate into smaller pieces and add to a bowl. Place bowl on top of a pot of boiled water. Place a dish towel over the bowl. The steam underneath the bowl will slowly melt the chocolate as you prepare the rest of the recipe.
2

Separate egg yolks and egg whites.
3

Heat cream on low heat until warmed. Once chocolate is melted, pour the cream over the chocolate and mix. Transfer to a larger bowl.
4

Add the egg yolks to the chocolate and cream and mix well until fully incorporated.
5

In a separate bowl whip the egg whites while slowly adding sugar until stiff peaks form (meringue).
6

Put half of the meringue into the chocolate mixture and fold together.
7

Add the rest of the meringue and gently fold together until most of the egg whites are mixed in. It's ok to have some swirls of white though.
8

Add mousse to individual glass dishes or leave in bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once set, pipe on whipped cream or decorate with fruit.
