Bittersweet chocolate and butter melted, then folded with egg yolks and whipped cream into a light mousse.

Ingredients

  • 13 ounces bitter or semisweet chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Microwave the chopped chocolate and butter for about 35 seconds, then stir until completely melted. Whisk in the egg yolks and let it cool.
  • In a chilled mixer bowl, beat the cream on medium until it begins to thicken, then add the sugar and vanilla and whisk to stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
