Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine egg yolks and granulated sugar. Whip on high speed for about 2 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- In a saucepan, gently warm heavy cream with a pinch of sea salt over low heat, stirring occasionally until steaming.
- Gradually pour the warm cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and add chopped bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and cool at room temperature for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Spoon or pipe the mousse into individual dessert cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
