by:
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons dark rum or raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 pint premium vanilla or other flavored ice cream
Instructions
  1. Melt chocolate and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove bowl from heat; whisk in yolks, one at a time, until chocolate is stiff but smooth; whisk in rum or liqueur and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, beat egg whites and salt in a medium bowl until foamy. Continue to beat, gradually adding remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form. Stir ½ cup of the whipped egg white into the chocolate to loosen it. Fold in remaining egg whites until chocolate and egg whites are well blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. To serve, scoop ⅓ cup each mousse and ice cream into a goblet. Serve.
Notes
These days many of us just want just a little taste of something sweet after dinner. If so, just spoon a small scoop of each into tiny bowls as shown.
