Ingredients

  • 8 - 1 ounce squares semisweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup water - divided use

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, whipped

Method

Step 1

In a microwave or double boiler, heat chocolate, 1/4 cup water and butter until the chocolate and butter are melted. Cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a small heavy saucepan, whisk egg yolks, sugar and remaining water. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160°F (70°C), about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Remove from the heat; whisk in chocolate mixture. Set saucepan in ice and stir until cooled, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into dessert dishes. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

Note that the proper term is mousse. It’s not a chocolate mouse or a chocolate moose. A mousse is really just a fancy pudding, with more air mixed into it to make it lighter.
