Creamiest Chocolate Mousse



Ingredients

• 295 g bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 10 egg yolks, beaten
• 40 g sugar
• 2 g salt
• 10 egg white
• 445 ml heavy cream
• 20 ml kirschwasser (optional)

Directions

• Place chocolate in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until mostly melted, then remove from heat, and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to medium stiff peaks, but do not allow it to become grainy. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the sugar, and continue whipping to medium stiff peaks. Fold in egg yolks and kirshwasser.
• Fold in the melted chocolate until completely incorporated, then fold in whipped cream until evenly blended. Spoon into dessert cups, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
