Ingredients

 
Ingredients for the Mousse:
 
4 eggs
 
8 oz of dark chocolate
 
1/3 cup of sugar
 
1 cup of heavy cream
 
Flavoring: spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, pumpkin pie spices, etc. or extracts such as (vanilla, orange, etc.)
 
Ingredients for the Decoration:
 
Cookies & candies

Directions

Steps for making the Mousse:
1- Melt the chocolate in a bain marie, where the chocolate container is on top of boiling water.
2- Separate the egg yolks from the egg white. Make sure that there are no traces of egg yolks in the egg whites so you can beat them in a nice meringue.
3- Beat the egg whites until they become white and fluffy. Add the sugar and keep beating the egg whites until they form white firm peaks.
4- Add flavoring to the heaving cream and whip it until it becomes smooth and flully.
5- Incorporate the whipped cream to the melted chocolate. Mix well.
6- Incorporate the egg yolks, one by one, to the chocolate mixture. Mix well.
7- Fold the meringue (egg whites) into the chocolate mixture. Do this step gently to keep the mousse flully and airy.
8- Cover the chocolate mousse and let it cool down in the fridge for 2 hours.

Serving:
Decorate the chocolate mousse with crushed cookies and candies. Enjoy!
