Ingredients
- 200g of dark chocolate (or dairy chocolate according to your taste)
- 5 eggs
- 50g of margarine
- 70g of powdered icing sugar
- A pinch of salt
Preparation steps
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the powdered icing sugar while continuing to beat.
- Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate squares with the margarine in a double boiler or in the microwave.
- Using a mixer, combine the egg yolks with the melted chocolate and margarine until you obtain a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped egg whites, mixing without deflating the air to preserve the lightness of the mousse.
- Pour into small molds or glasses, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before enjoying.
For an even lighter mousse, take your eggs out of the freezer 30 minutes before you start to let them come to room temperature. This mousse can also be kept in the freezer for a few weeks — perfect for preparing your pastries in advance!
