Chocolate mousse

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 150 g of pastry chocolate
  • 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
  • 5 cl of thick liquid cream
  • 4 eggs
  • a pinch of salt

Preparation

Melt your chocolate in a bain-marie with the vanilla sugar. When everything is melted, add the cream, and mix well to obtain a creamy result. Then remove from heat.

Crack your eggs, separating the yolks from the whites. Beat your whites on one side with the pinch of salt, and on the other add your yolks to the chocolate/sugar/cream mixture.

When the egg whites are whipped, fold them very gently into the mixture.

Then, serve your choice in ramekins or a large bowl.

Leave to set for a few hours in the refrigerator.
