Companion Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.
2. Add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan and stir until completely melted and smooth.
3. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until pale and frothy.
4. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
5. In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until completely combined.
7. Spoon the mixture into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
8. Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and top with whipped cream or shaved chocolate, if desired.

Verdict:

This companion chocolate mousse is rich, creamy, and decadent. The perfect dessert to share with your favorite companion.

Serving Suggestions:
