Chocolate mousse, this iconic dessert of French gastronomy, has delighted young and old alike for generations. Both airy and creamy, it combines the richness of dark chocolate with the lightness of whipped egg whites to create an irresistible texture. Discover our traditional recipe, which guarantees a perfectly balanced mousse, to serve as a dessert or for a gourmet break :-)
Separate the egg whites from the yolks
Add sugar to the yolks and mix. Melt the chocolate, leave it to cool down a bit, then add it to the yolk-sugar mix, and mix well.
Whisk the egg whites until they form peaks.
Gradually and gently add them to the chocolate mix, taking care of no crushing them, so it is still foamy.
Serve into ramekins, and leave in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
There you are, your chocolate mousse is ready !
