Instructions
Dark Chocolate Layer:
- Start by melting the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
- Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk and half of the sugar until pale.
- Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg white with a pinch of salt and the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream and then the egg white into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour into serving glasses, filling only one-third. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
Milk Chocolate Layer:
- Repeat the same process as the dark chocolate layer, but using milk chocolate.
- Pour this mixture over the set dark chocolate layer in the glasses, filling another third.
- Refrigerate again.
White Chocolate Layer:
- Repeat the same process as the previous layers, but using white chocolate.
- Pour this mixture over the set milk chocolate layer in the glasses.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serve:
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- Ensure all your utensils are clean and dry when beating the egg whites to achieve stiff peaks.
- For a more intense flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to each chocolate layer.
- The mousse is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
