Chocolate Mousse

Here is a favorite recipe of Ben and Myrna Cardin. They hope you will enjoy it as much as they do.

Ingredients

Two 4-ounce bars of German sweet chocolate

6 eggs, separated

1/4 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 pint whipping cream

Boiling water

Break up the chocolate bars. Place in large bowl. Add boiling water to cover chocolate and place dish towel on top of bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Whip egg whites until stiff but not dry. Whip cream.

Pour off water. Chocolate should be melted. Add yolks of 6 eggs and 1/4 tablespoon sugar and mix well. Fold in whipped cream, then fold in beaten egg whites.

Pour mousse into bowl. Refrigerate at least 8 hours. Decorate with more whipped cream.

For change: Layer the mousse with open lady fingers, with lady fingers on the bottom and ending with mousse on top, or you can pour mousse into bowl without ladyfingers.

Serves: 8
