Ingredients
8 oz chocolate (dark, semisweet, or milk), chopped
3 large whole eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
Optional toppings: extra whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate shavings
Instructions
Place chopped chocolate and whole eggs in a blender.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil until sugar dissolves and syrup is hot.
Carefully pour hot syrup into the blender with chocolate and eggs. Blend until smooth and slightly thickened.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
Divide mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Top with whipped cream, berries, or shaved chocolate before serving, if desired.
Notes
Add espresso, coffee liqueur, or orange zest for a flavor boost.
Use milk or white chocolate for a sweeter option.
For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate.
For extra light texture, fold in additional whipped cream before chilling.
Add peppermint extract for a festive twist.
