THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE, ULTRA GOURMET WITH A HINT OF SALT
Dessert
What if we told you that we fell in love with this chocolate mousse? And that it might just be the best chocolate mousse we've ever had! :) Ultra-simple to make, it's light, melt-in-your-mouth and terribly delicious... Very few ingredients, very little preparation time... but a little patience all the same: allow 3 hours for resting. Perfect for three very large gourmets or six more reasonable portions. No added sugar, but clearly not without pleasure ;)
Ingredients
- 5 oz dark chocolate
- 1.7 oz semi salted butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 4 egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch fleur de sel/kosher salt (optional)
Materials
- 1 electric mixer
- 3 ramekins

Preparation
Step 1:
Whisk the egg whites until frothy, add a pinch of salt and whisk again until stiff.
Step 2:
Melt the dark chocolate and semi salted butter in a water bath or in the microwave.
Step 3:
Add the egg yolk to the chocolate and melted butter mixture.
Step 4:
Gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites using a spatula.
Step 5:
Pour the chocolate mousse into ramekins. Chill for at least 3 hours. *We've been generous here, filling 3 ramekins, but you could just as easily make 6.
Step 6:
And voilà, the mousses are ready! You can add fleur de sel on top for even more deliciousness!
