Chocolate Mousse

Recipe for 4 People

Ingredients:

• 200 g dark chocolate
• 75 g butter
• 3 fresh eggs (size M, room temperature) from Almhofer Organic Farm
• 250 g heavy cream
• A pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon rum

Instructions:

1. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt them gently over a double boiler. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
2. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are semi-stiff. Whip the cream until it is compact but not too stiff.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar using a hand mixer for at least 5 minutes until they become pale and creamy.
4. Gently fold the cooled chocolate-butter mixture and rum into the egg yolk-sugar mixture using a spatula.
5. Carefully fold in the semi-stiff egg whites and whipped cream, ensuring not to stir too vigorously to maintain the mousse's airy texture.
6. Spoon the chocolate mousse into glasses and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
