    Williams Sonoma Chocolate Mousse


    Source of Recipe


    Williams Sonoma

    List of Ingredients




    1/4 pound bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
    3 eggs
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons powdered sugar

    Recipe



    Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set over but not touching barely simmering water in a saucepan. Heat, stirring, until the chocolate melts, about 2 minutes. Add the butter and continue to stir until the butter melts and is incorporated, 30 to 60 seconds. Separate 1 egg, placing the white in a large bowl and adding the yolk to the chocolate. Quickly whisk in the yolk, fully incorporating it. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs.

    Remove the bowl from over the saucepan and let cool to lukewarm. Add the salt to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, beat the whites until they form stiff peaks, then beat in the confectionersí sugar. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate, being careful not to deflate the whites. Spoon the mixture into a large bowl or individual glasses. Cover and refrigerate until very firm, at least 6 hours or for up to 24 hours. Serve well chilled. Serves 4.
