4 oz. dark chocolate
1 tbsp sugar
5 egg whites
3 egg yolks
-I wouldn't attempt this without a hand mixer, a medium-sized metal bowl to use over a pot of a water as a double boiler, and a reliable silicon spatula.
Directions-
1. Create a double boiler situation with the metal bowl and pot of water. Melt the chocolate--scraping the sides with the spatula.
2. Add the sugar and stir well. Remove from heat.
3. Add the egg yolks one by one and stir well.
4. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
5. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture with the spatula and mix until creamy and uniform (this took me 7 minutes last night).
6. Pour the mousse into small bowls, cover, and refrigerate over night.
I really like this recipe for mousse. Also, my lactose intolerant husband can enjoy it. I took it out of FWDGF. It's very elegant and delicious.
