Ingredients

5 1/4 ounces Hershey’s bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
14 ounces cold heavy cream
3 large egg whites
1 ounce sugar
Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish, optional
Shaved bittersweet chocolate, for garnish, optional

Directions

1. Place Hershey’s chocolate in a large bowl set over a double boiler at a low simmer. Stir chocolate until melted. Turn off the heat and let stand.

2.Beat the heavy cream over ice until it forms soft peaks. Set aside and hold at room temperature.

3. With a mixer, whip egg whites to soft peaks.

4. Gradually add the sugar to egg whites and continue whipping until firm.

5. Remove the chocolate and using a whisk, fold in the egg whites all at once.

6. When the whites are almost completely incorporated, fold in the whipped cream.

7. Cover the mousse and refrigerate for about an 1 hour or until firm.

Quick Tip: Top each serving with more whipped cream and some shaved chocolate – dark of course!
