ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream, cold
2 large egg yolks
1 ounce tequila
1 bar chocolate
Fresh mint, for garnish

instructions

1

Put the semisweet chocolate in a large bowl and place in the microwave. Microwave on high for 1 minute, give the chocolate a stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until completely melted. Set aside.


2

In clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer at high speed until it holds medium peaks. Set aside.


3

In a chilled clean bowl, beat the cream with an electric mixer at high speed until it holds medium peaks.


4

Mix the yolks and tequila into the melted chocolate. Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites first to lighten the mixture, add the remaining 2/3 of the egg whites and fold gently to keep the air in the beaten egg whites. Add the whipped cream and fold in gently, taking care not to over mix.


5

Spoon the mousse into 4 martini glasses. Using a vegetable peeler, shave chocolate on top of the mousse. Garnish with mint. Chill for at least 1 hour or up to a day ahead.
