Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and rum over low heat, stirring gently until the sugar is completely dissolved but the mixture does not brown.
  2. Place the sweet chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and melt slowly, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  3. Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and stir in the 3 tablespoons of whipping cream until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the warm rum syrup into the melted chocolate mixture and stir vigorously until smooth and combined.
  5. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature, but ensure it is not chilled.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat the 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip the 2 cups of cream until stiff peaks form.
  9. Very gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg mixture until just combined and no white streaks remain.
  10. Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until set, before serving.
