Decadent Chocolate Mousse

A chocoholic’s dream. So rich that even a small portion will send you over the top. I suggest whipping some parve whipped topping (or whipped cream, if you’re making it dairy) and layering it or serving it on the side.

Makes 10 portions

Ingredients

• 9 large eggs, separated
• 2 cups sugar, divided
• 6 oz. margarine or butter, diced
• ½ cup water
• 16 oz. dark chocolate

Preparation 

1. Whisk egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, butter or margarine and water over a double boiler. Whisk until thermometer reads 160 degrees.
2. Add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Beat egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry.
4. Fold ⅓ of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture and mix. Fold in remaining whites.
5. Chill before serving.
