List of Ingredients




4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup milk
6 eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, divided
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 - 9 inch cheesecake, prepared

Recipe



Prepare cheesecake according to instructions. Allow to cool. (Do not decorate with chocolate or chocolate chips.)

In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate over low heat. While it melts, whisk sugar, milk and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Once chocolate is melted, add the sugar/egg mixture. Stir constantly until smooth and thickened, about 7-9 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool completely.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter on medium speed until fluffy, then add 3/4 cup of the confectioners sugar and beat for 2 more minutes.
Add cooled chocolate mixture to the butter and beat well. Leave in mixing bowl.

In a separate mixing bowl, whip egg whites and salt to stiff peaks. Gradually add in 3/4 cups confectioners sugar.
Fold egg white meringue into chocolate mixture, then add vanilla. Place mixture in refrigerator to cool for one hour or more.

Remove cheesecake and mousse from refrigerator. Ice the sides of the cheesecake with the mousse, then pipe or spread remaining mousse on top of cake. Allow to cool completely before serving. Mine is decorated with white chocolate snowflakes, which are simple to make with a piping bag and melted white chocolate.
