Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
• 4 Tablespoons Sugar
• 12 Eggs (large)…if you use extra large, the mousse will be a little grainier
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 Tablespoons Almond Liquor (almond extract can be substituted – ½ teaspoon)
• 1 Pound Bakers German Sweet Chocolate Bars
• ½ pound sweet butter
Directions:
Directions:
Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks with the vanilla, and butter. When thoroughly blended, add the Almond Liquor or extract. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and then allow to cool, just a bit. Beat the egg whites and sugar until stiff. Blend the chocolate with the butter/yolk mixture, adding the chocolate to the yolk a little at a time. Finally, gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites. Chill until firm.

This may be put in small glasses and chilled. Serve with whip cream and perhaps a sprig of mint or a fanned strawberry if you want to go the whole route…Enjoy
