Chocolate Mousse

By sassy47

Ingredients

• 10 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped, more as needed
• 1 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Create an ice bath in a large bowl using ice and a little cold water. Nestle a smaller bowl in the ice bath. Place chocolate and 1 cup water in a small pot and heat over medium. Whisk until mixture is melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Immediately pour melted chocolate into the bowl in the ice bath. Vigorously whisk chocolate mixture by hand until thick, 3-5 minutes. The chocolate should be fluffy and form a mound when dolloped with the whisk (it should generally have the texture and appearance of mousse). If the mixture does not thicken, add a bit more chopped chocolate and re-melt over the heat. Spoon into serving bowls.
