Awesome, awesome surprise! It takes a bit of work but is well worth the effort. In reality, it didn't take very long. The longest part was melting the chocolate. In all, you just have to have a bit of patience with this recipe...wait for it to melt right, and wait for the mousse to peak right, then gently fold the two together. So so good. I used semi-sweet bakers chocolate instead of semi-sweet morsels and it worked out very well. This is a must make, so I included the recipe. 5 giant mickeys!
5 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/4 cup cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
Melt chocolate over hot water (I have a melt setting on my stove top so I used that instead). Remove. Combine egg yolks and cream (Note: Do this while melting). Gradually add to chocolate, stirring rapidly. Add vanilla. Beat egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form (Note: also do this while melting chocolate. If you let the choc. sit to do these things it will stiffen and bad things will come of it :-) ). Gently fold into chocolate mixture. Chill until firm.
