Ingredients to make Dark Chocolate Mousse:

• 200 grams of dark chocolate (with a minimum of 70% cocoa) in tablet form
• 2 tablespoons of refined sugar
• 6 eggs

How to make Dark Chocolate Mousse:

1. Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks.
2. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and beat with the electric whisk until they mount and are very consistent, on the verge of snow.
3. Tip: The whites of the easy dark chocolate mousse will be well assembled when they do not slip out of the bowl when turned over.
4. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a saucepan in a water bath or in the microwave (on full power, in 30-second cycles, stopping to mix).
5. Tip: The key to getting a perfect black chocolate mousse is to choose a quality chocolate.
6. Remember that the more percentage of cocoa it has, the more bitter but healthier this dessert will be.
7. Add the sugar to the egg yolks and beat until creamy. Then without stopping beating, add the chocolate in a thread and continue beating until fully incorporated.
8. Tip: If you are using a very bitter chocolate you can add a little more sugar. I recommend using refined sugar because it is easier to dissolve.
9. Finally add the beaten egg whites to the previous mixture, slowly, and while gently incorporating them with a spatula.
10. Tip: Adding and mixing the whites gently and without the mixer guarantees a very fluffy dark chocolate mousse without cream.
11. Distribute the mixture in glasses or dessert glasses or in a fountain.
12. Then reserve the dark chocolate mousse in the fridge for at least 2 hours and serve it decorated to taste.
13. Tip: The ideal is to freeze the chocolate mousse for 4 hours, so it will remain at the correct consistency.
