Directions: |
Directions:Put chocolate and butter in heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan containing about 1 inch of barely simmering water (or use a double boiler). Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool slightly. Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate, one at a time until smooth.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add remaining 2 tbsp sugar and vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds soft peaks.
Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the whipping cream - do not over mix. Divide the mousse into 4 individual glasses and chill for several hours.
Garnish with whipped topping, if desired. |
