Suggest a better descriptionPut the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan
containing about 1-inch of barely simmering water (or use a double boiler). Stir
with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool slightly. Then grab a whisk and
beat the egg yolks into the chocolate, 1 at a time, beating until smooth after
each addition. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and
beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating
until stiff peaks form.
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until it begins to thicken up. Add the
remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the
cream holds soft peaks.
Now that you've got the elements prepared, put it all together. Gently fold the
egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the whipped
cream. Take care not over work the mousse or it will be heavy. Divide the
mousse between 4 individual glasses, preferably Moroccan glasses. Cover and
chill for several hours. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings
before serving
*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked
eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce
this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade
A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites
and the shell.
