Chocolate Mousse

Another easy-peasy decadent chocolate dessert made with so little and common ingredients which you always have at an arm’s length. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¼  cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3tbsp butter

Tips:

1. For best results eggs should be cold just out of refrigerator.
2. You can lower the quantity of chocolate chips to make mousse more fluffy.
3. You can add flavor to the mousse by adding a little lemon zest or orange zest to the melted chocolate.

Directions:

• Melt chocolate over a bain-marie until smooth then, add butter and mix until well blended.

• Separate egg whites and egg yolks. Whip egg whites until foamy with a hand mixer and gradually add the sugar whipping the whole time until it holds very stiff peaks and does not leave the walls of the bowl even when upside down.

• Beat the yolks with the chosen flavor ingredients like lemon zest or orange zest, and add to the chocolate mixture.

• Slowly fold in a spoonful of foamy egg whites in chocolate mixture then pour that mixture into the remaining egg whites and fold until well combined.

• Pour the mousse into serving cups or bowls, wrap it up with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

• Decorate and serve.
