Dark Chocolate Mousse

Steps

1. 1

   Gently melt the chocolate with the butter. Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks into the lukewarm chocolate one at a time.

3. 3

   Beat the egg whites with the salt. Once foamy, add the sugar and continue whipping to soft, glossy peaks.

4. 4

   Whip the cream to soft peaks. Fold one-third of the whites into the chocolate to loosen it, then gently fold in the rest, followed by the whipped cream.

5. 5

   Spoon into small glasses or ramekins and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
