Quick and easy chocolate mousse

I have not tried it personally, but it sounds really great. It is a handy recipe when you don't have much time. (Chilling time not included)

• Ready In: 18 mins

Ingredients

• 6  ounces  semisweet chocolate
• 5  eggs, separated
•  whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water; let cool a little.
2. Whisk the egg yolks into the melted chocolate, one at a time, until well-combined; set aside.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff.
4. Loosen the chocolate mixture with 1 Tbsp of egg white.
5. Fold in the remaining egg whites, making sure you do not lose too much volume.
