Ingredients
  

200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped

3 large eggs, separated

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

Pinch of salt

Fresh berries (strawberries or raspberries) for garnish

Mint leaves for garnish

Crushed cookies or granola (optional, for layering)

Instructions
 

Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

    Prepare Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and creamy. Slowly add the melted chocolate, stirring until well combined.

      Whip Egg Whites: In another clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining tablespoon of sugar, continuing to whisk until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.

        Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.

          Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Then, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites, taking care to retain as much air as possible for a light, fluffy texture.

            Layer the Parfaits: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chocolate mousse with crushed cookies or granola (if using) and fresh berries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a layer of mousse on top.

              Chill: Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

                Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each parfait with fresh berries, a sprig of mint, and a sprinkle of crushed cookies or granola. Enjoy your indulgent Choco-Luxe Mousse Parfaits!
