Directions
- 1
In a small saucepan, combine cocoa powder and water, stirring until fully dissolved. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- 2
Pour the chocolate sauce into the bottom of a lightly greased bundt or ring mold and freeze until firm.
- 3
In a blender, combine egg yolks, condensed milk, and whole milk. Blend until smooth and uniform.
- 4
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened into a custard. Do not let it boil — this keeps the texture creamy.
- 5
Set the pan in a bowl of cold water and stir until the custard cools completely.
- 6
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- 7
Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.
- 8
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard, then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites with circular motions.
- 9
Pour the mousse over the frozen chocolate layer in the mold, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- 10
To unmold, dip the base of the mold briefly in hot water, then invert onto a serving plate.
💡 Chef's Tip
Decorate with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce just before serving. For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
