Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

No cook time required

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Double boiler or heatproof bowl and saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Glass or ceramic bowls for serving

Method

  1. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, cream of tartar, and salt to the egg whites, continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and holds its shape.
  4. In another mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and vanilla extract until light and frothy.
  5. Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly to combine.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, using a spatula to mix until fully incorporated.
  7. Spoon the chocolate mousse into individual serving bowls or glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, be sure to separate the egg whites and yolks carefully, making sure no yolk gets into the whites. This can cause the egg whites to not whip up properly. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate.

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to let the melted chocolate cool slightly before adding it to the egg yolks to prevent the mixture from curdling.
