Ingredients

  • ½ lb dark chocolate 70% cocoa solids or more, broken up or grated
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 3 pcs eggs
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Coconut milk to serve

Instructions

  • Place the dark chocolate in a bowl with the warm water and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure that the bowl doesn’t touch the simmering water. Let the chocolate melt slowly.
    ½ lb dark chocolate, ½ cup warm water
  • Separate the egg yolks and the whites in two bowls, beat the yolks, and mix in the honey if using.
    3 pcs eggs, 1 teaspoon honey
  • Once the chocolate is fully melted, remove it from the heat source and let it cool for about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat the egg whites to soft peaks.
  • Combine the beaten egg yolks with the melted chocolate. Make sure the chocolate is cool enough, so it doesn't cook the eggs.
  • Use a rubber spatula to fold a tablespoon or so of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture.
  • Carefully fold the rest of the egg whites in the chocolate mixture, paying attention not to remove air from the egg whites.
  • Once fully combined, divide the chocolate mousse into 4 individual ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and let cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
