Method to make Chocolate Mousse Recipe

First you have to melt the chocolate in a double boiler, and once it has melted remove from heat and keep aside to cool for 8-10 minutes.

Next you add egg whites to a medium sized bowl and start whisking, and then add half of the sugar and whisk again. Add the remaining sugar and keep whisking for 2-3 minutes until a meringue like consistency is achieved.

Add the cooled chocolate little by little to the whisked egg whites and fold in gently until combined well. Keep aside.

Then pour the cream in another clean bowl and whisk till stiff peaks form. Add in the reserved egg white mix and fold gently.

Carefully transfer the mixture to serving bowls and refrigerate for 4-5 hours so that it sets.

Once it has set, garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately.
