Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces high-quality 72% cacao bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, or chocolate chips
8 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water
Grated zest of 1 small orange (optional)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in a microwave, stirring after each 10-second increment, until smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • 2. Place the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until pale yellow. Whisk in the olive oil, coffee, zest, if using, and salt until combined. Add the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth.
  • 3. Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining ΒΌ cup sugar and beat just until stiff peaks form. Add a generous spoonful of the egg white mixture to the chocolate mixture. Stir firmly until completely incorporated. Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of egg whites. Gently fold with a large spoon or rubber spatula until completely combined.
  • 4. Divide the mousse into six 6-ounce ramekins and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

I'm not sure if I have all the ingredients for this mousse. I'll have to check my pantry.

This mousse looks delicious, but I'm on a diet. Maybe I'll save it for a cheat day.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so I can't try this mousse. :(

This mousse is way too expensive to make. I could buy a whole cake for the same price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mousse turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This mousse is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I love how the olive oil adds a subtle savory note to this mousse. It's a nice contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate.

This mousse is so light and airy, it's like eating a cloud! The flavor is perfect, not too sweet and not too bitter.

This was the easiest mousse I've ever made! I didn't even have to use a mixer. Just a few simple ingredients and a whisk, and I had a delicious dessert in no time.

I'm not usually a fan of dark chocolate, but this mousse was amazing! The olive oil really mellowed out the bitterness of the chocolate and made it incredibly smooth and creamy.
