Belgian Chocolate Mousse
This easy to make dessert is the most popular at the lighthouse.
Ingredients
Servings: 4
4 eggs, separated
9 oz chocolate (I use Ghirardelli chips part semi-sweet, part bittersweet)
2 tablespoons sugar
Directions
1. Melt chocolate slowly in a double boiler over low heat.
2. Whip the egg whites with a dash of salt until they form firm peaks.
3. Stir sugar and egg yolks until color changes to light orange and add the melted chocolate.
4. Carefully add small amounts of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture, folding them in lightly, not stirring or beating.
5. Pour into individual bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with a cookie or fresh berries. Serve.
