Yes, yes, you understood correctly: today’s dessert only requires two very basic ingredients. You will need eggs and chocolate, that’s all. And on the technical side, there’s no need to be a pro to achieve a wonderfully creamy and airy chocolate mousse. Simply follow two rules: wait for the chocolate to cool slightly before incorporating the yolks to avoid cooking them and whip the egg whites into stiff peaks. When you fold them into the melted chocolate + yolks, be careful with the movement. You should do it with a spatula preferably, from bottom to top to avoid deflating the whites.
We leave you the recipe just below; it’s super simple and quick. And enjoy your meal 😋🍫

Tips and variations to make the best chocolate mousse in the world
Of course, everyone has their own favorite chocolate mousse recipe. Some add a little sugar to make this dessert even softer and more addictive, but nothing is mandatory. To help you whip the whites more easily, you can add a pinch of salt at the start but you are not obliged. We recommend adding the pinch of fleur de sel directly on the chocolate mousse in the plate; it pairs perfectly with the intense taste of chocolate!
