🍫 Easy Chocolate Mousse (No-Bake)

Ingredients (Serves 4):

• 200g (about 7 oz) dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa)

• 3 eggs, separated

• 2 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• Pinch of salt

🥣 Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate:

   • Break chocolate into small pieces and melt in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler), or microwave in 20-second bursts. Let it cool slightly.

2. Whip the cream:

   • In a cold bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Keep in the fridge.

3. Whip the egg whites:

   • In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

4. Mix egg yolks into chocolate:

   • Stir the egg yolks (and vanilla if using) into the cooled melted chocolate until smooth.

5. Fold in whipped cream:

   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture — don’t deflate it.

6. Fold in egg whites:

   • Finally, gently fold in the beaten egg whites in 2–3 batches until just combined.

7. Chill:

   • Spoon into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

📝 Notes:

• For a kid-safe version, you can skip the eggs and just use whipped cream + melted chocolate.

• For a richer version, use ganache-style (melted chocolate + cream only).

• Serve with whipped cream, berries, or shaved chocolate on top.
