Directions

1 Beat egg yolks in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed about 3 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in sugar.
2 Heat 1 cup whipping cream in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until hot. Gradually stir at least half of the hot whipping cream into egg yolk mixture; stir back into hot cream in saucepan. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens (do not boil). Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, just until chilled.
3 Beat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream. Pipe or spoon mixture into serving bowls. Immediately refrigerate any remaining dessert after serving.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Sprinkle with food-grade gold leaf—found in cake supply stores—for a truly spectacular presentation. Or serve this creamy mousse in swan- or heart-shaped chocolate cups.

Stirring half of the whipping cream into the egg yolk mixture prevents the egg yolks from being cooked in the hot whipping cream.

I made this April 3rd to celebrate National Chocolate Mousse Day! It was delicious! I love mousse and had doubled the recipe in case there weren't really 8 servings. There WERE really 8 servings so I had 16! It's all good, though, because I had enough to liberally share with family and friends. Only warning I would give is that my whipping cream in the mixer went from very soft peaks to overwhipped in a matter of seconds. If you mix until the peaks are "stiff", it might get overwhipped. Still tasted great, though. I froze one portion to see how it would hold up and when I thawed it out the next day, it was great. Thanks!

So Good!! I decorate cakes and often use this as a filling! I only had mini choc chips one time, and they didn't melt all the way, giving the mousse a fun texture! Couldn't stop eating it!
