Step 1

Melt the chocolate au bain-marie and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites together with the salt until you have stiff peaks.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the whipping cream together with the sugar until lumpy.

Step 4

Stir the chocolate and egg yolk into the whipped cream and carefully spoon in the egg whites. Be careful not to stir too much air out of the whipped egg whites!

Step 5

Divide the chocolate mousse between the glasses and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably all night.
