Ingredients

• 6 oz dark chocolate chips
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

1. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
2. Separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar until pale and thick, then stir them into the cooled chocolate mixture along with the vanilla and salt.
3. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the chocolate mixture in two additions.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold it into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.
5. Spoon the mousse into 4 individual cups or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
6. Serve chilled, topped with a little extra whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.
