Chocolate Mousse for Beginners

This chocolate mousse for beginners is the all-time easiest method, perfect for beginners, but even experts may want to pay attention, because this technique produces the most delicious, most perfectly-textured mousse I've ever had.

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ ounces dark chocolate (62% cacao is ideal)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tiny pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • Break up or chop chocolate into small pieces and set aside with butter.
  • Add egg yolks, sugar, water, and salt to a metal mixing bowl. Cook, whisking, directly over medium-low heat until the mixture is thick, foamy, and hot to the touch (145 to 150 degrees F (63 to 65 degrees C)).
