Recipe for Melt-in-your-Mouth Chocolate Mousse

Melt the dark chocolate and set it aside to cool.

Soften the butter in the microwave for 20 seconds or take it out 30 minutes in advance.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Set the whites aside in a mixing bowl. In the melted chocolate, add the softened butter and the egg yolks, mixing with a spatula.

Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the sugar. Do not wait and gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture.

Take the whisk/electric mixer and whip the liquid cream to stiff peaks. Then fold it into the previous mousse.

Pour the mousse into small bowls or individual ramekins. Sprinkle with milk chocolate shavings for added indulgence.

Finally, let the mousse rest for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
