A chocolate mousse made with eggs and chocolate only.
Not possible?
Not so sure ! Discover my recipe without added sugar instead!
Butter, sugar, egg, chocolate... nothing like a chocolate mousse to ruin all your dieting efforts!
However, I feel remorse for forcing everyone around me to settle for a fromage blanc with each dessert...
To get around the problem, and treat myself from time to time, I revisited the chocolate mousse recipe, keeping only the essential ingredients:eggs and chocolate!

- 4 eggs
- 300g dark or milk chocolate
1. I melt the chocolate in a saucepan with a little water.
2. During this time, I separate the whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites.
3. When they are very firm, I add the equivalent of two tablespoons of cold water (this allows the whites to swell a little more, and therefore gain in consistency) and I continue to beat.
4. Once the chocolate has melted, I add the egg yolks, stirring very hard so that they are not cooked by the hot chocolate, then the egg whites, delicately beaten.
There you go, my mousse is ready! I usually pour it into individual ramekins so everyone gets their share.
- 4 eggs:€1
- 300 g of dark chocolate:€3.50 per kilo, i.e. €1.05
Either a chocolate cream costing me €0.34 per person or €2.05 for 6 people.
