Simple chocolate mousse suggestions
A double boiler, or bain marie, will be used to melt the chocolate. The chocolate is melted in this manner simply by using indirect heat, which prevents it from burning and allows the temperature to be precisely controlled. Use clean equipment to whisk the egg whites, since even a trace of egg yolk can ruin the fluffy peaks. To avoid scrambling the eggs, add the chocolate to the egg yolks very gradually until they are both at the same temperature.
