EASY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE-LIKE DESSERT
I've refrained from calling it a mousse because I know mousse connoisseurs will claim "there's no eggs, it's not a mousse!" But it comes out rich and velvety like any real mousse. A note about the portions: I said it makes enough for four, but I used martini glasses to serve it in and it didn't quite fill them as much as I would have liked. So depending on the size of what you're using to serve the mousse-like dessert in, you might want to make sure you have enough whipped cream to add some on top. It also tends to be a bit rich, so you may be happy with smaller portions, also. From the Hersheys website.

Steps:
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwaveable bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until just melted. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, scatter in the sugar and whisk again until the mixture forms stiff peaks when you lift the whisk out (around 30 seconds).
- Add a big tablespoon of the egg white to the melted chocolate and mix vigorously, working fast so the chocolate doesn't cool and harden. Then fold in the remaining egg whites carefully using a spatula or large metal spoon. Spoon into 4 glasses or ramekins and set in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Serve each with a dollop of crème fraiche and shavings of dark chocolate.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is ideal.
- Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the cream. If you overbeat it, it will become grainy and lose its volume.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will cause the mousse to deflate.
- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
- Serve the mousse with fresh berries or fruit, or with a dollop of whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a light and fluffy mousse that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give chocolate mousse a try.
