Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Start by melting the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Stir gently until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

- Now, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Transfer your mousse to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding espresso or coffee. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days.
