Milk Chocolate Mousse Delight

This decadent chocolate mousse recipe combines heavy cream, whole milk, dark chocolate, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract to create a rich and airy dessert. The mousse is topped with chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth and all chocolate is melted. Allow to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want it to remain airy.
4. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add a tablespoon of sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Then, fold in the whipped egg whites, being careful to maintain the airy texture.
6. Evenly distribute the mousse mixture into serving cups or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
7. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings on top for an elegant touch.
