French dark chocolate mousse

This is the real deal.

6 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
1 bar dark chocolate (70 % cocoa is best!) slowly melted in double boiler

Fold the chocolate into the eggs whites gently. Once blended, refrigerate a few hours until firm. Can be topped with whipped cream or raspberries, but is amazing in it’s plain, unadulterated form.

  2. Bonjour Jammie,

    I usually use a 100g bar, but have used more when combining several kinds of chocolate I already had on hand. I'd say anywhere up to 130g would be fine.

    Bon appétit!
