Creamy Chocolate Mousse Recipe
Ingredients
| 3 eggs, separated, at room temperature | ||
| Milk | 2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Salt | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
| Sugar | ||
| Unsweetened chocolate square | 4 , chopped | |
| Unflavored gelatin | 1 | |
| Vanilla extract | 1 Teaspoon | |

Directions
1. In 2-quart saucepan, with wire whisk, beat egg yolks, milk, salt, and 3/4 cup sugar untilblended; stir in chopped chocolate. Evenly sprinkle gelatin over mixture; let stand 1 minute to soften gelatin slightly. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes until gelatin completely dissolves, chocolate melts, and mixture thickens slightly and coats a spoon. Stir in vanilla; cover and refrigerate 45 to 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds when dropped from a spoon.
2. In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually sprinkle in 1/4 cup sugar, beating until sugar dissolves and whites stand in stiff peaks.
3. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat 1 3/4 cups heavy cream until soft peaks form. With rubber spatula or wire whisk, fold chocolate mixture and beaten egg whites into whipped cream; pour into 1 1/2 quart bowl; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or until set.
