Chocolate mousse without cream or butter

Ingredients

  • 165 g of 60% cocoa chocolate
  • 4 eggs
  • 15 g of blond sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) of salt

Preparation

  1. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it with the salt in a bain-marie. Leave the preparation to cool outside of the bain-marie.

  2. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Put the yolks in a salad bowl and beat the egg whites with the sugar until you obtain a firm but still soft texture.

  3. Whisk the yolks vigorously with 2.5 cl of water to make them gain volume.

  4. Add the melted chocolate to the yolks and whisk everything well. Add 1/4 of the egg whites to this mixture and whisk again vigorously.

  5. Incorporate the rest of the whipped whites in 4 or 5 batches, mixing very delicately using a spatula.

  6. Leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
