My Chocolate Season 2022: Chocolate Mousse

12/27/2022

It's hard to believe the New Year will begin this weekend - and this is my final blog post of 2022. I definitely feel like celebrating the next holiday, but I also feel like 'the easier the better' in the kitchen, at this point.

A word of caution: if you don't like the idea of eating raw eggs, this recipe is definitely not for you. A second word of caution: you'll have plenty of dishes to wash.

But the results are worth it. I always use bittersweet chocolate in recipes; however, feel free to use semisweet chips if you prefer a slightly sweeter result. Either way, this dessert is easy, delicious, and a great way to celebrate. Happy New Year to all!

​Chocolate Mousse
4-6 servings (depending on the dishes you use)
 
Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
6 egg yolks
6 egg whites
2 tablespoons vanilla
 
Whipped cream
Sprinkled cocoa powder and/or cinnamon
