Chilled Chocolate Mousse Delight

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Chocolate shavings and fresh berries for garnish

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat.
2. Add the chopped chocolate to the hot cream and stir until smooth and completely melted. Let cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until pale and creamy.
4. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
7. Pour the mousse into individual ramekins or a large serving dish. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until set.
8. Before serving, let the mousse sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh berries.
9. Enjoy the decadent Chilled Chocolate Mousse Delight!
