Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the evaporated skim milk and semi-sweet chocolate over low heat, stirring until melted. Remove from heat.
- Beat the egg yolks and vanilla together, then add the chocolate mixture to the yolks, stirring well.
- Return the mixture to low heat and stir until it thickens.
- Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold gently into the chocolate mixture.
- Divide the mousse into cups and refrigerate until firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. If you prefer a lighter mousse, try substituting the evaporated skim milk with unsweetened almond milk. Make sure to fold the egg whites gently to keep the mixture airy. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chocolate mousse in elegant cups or bowls, and consider topping it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Dandy Candy for a delightful contrast in flavor and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To enjoy it later, simply serve it chilled directly from the fridge. If it seems a bit firm, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this mousse ahead of time?
Absolutely! This chocolate mousse can be made a day in advance. Just ensure it's properly covered and refrigerated. It will actually taste even better as the flavors meld overnight.
What can I substitute for eggs if I want a vegan version?
You can replace the eggs with aquafaba, the liquid from canned chickpeas. Use three tablespoons of aquafaba for each egg, whipping it until stiff peaks form, similar to egg whites.
How can I make this mousse less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness, opt for a higher percentage of dark chocolate (70% or more) and use unsweetened cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor without adding sugar.
