Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 125 g Dark chocolate
  • 60 g Butter
  • 3 Eggs (size M)
  • 50 g Icing sugar
  • 2 cl Cognac
  • 100 g Whipped cream
  • 25 g Dark chocolate couverture for decorating

Directions

  1. 1

    Break 125 g chocolate into pieces and put them into a small pot together with the butter. Melt while stirring over low heat (or on a hot water bath). Let it cool down a little. Separate the eggs. Stir egg yolks and icing sugar briefly, then add the cognac and finally the liquid chocolate.

  2. 2

    Beat the egg whites with the whisks of the hand mixer until stiff and carefully stir/pull into the chocolate cream. Divide the chocolate cream into 4 glasses and chill for 1-2 hours. Whip cream until semi-stiff (do not sweeten!). Use a vegetable or parmesan slicer to slice shavings off the dark chocolate coating. Shortly before serving, pour a dollop of cream on each mousse and sprinkle with chocolate shavings
