Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an eight-inch round cake pan with butter.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water or using a microwave, melt the dark chocolate and butter until smooth, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to maintain airiness.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to keep it light.
- Assemble with Raspberries: Pour half of the mousse into the prepared cake pan. Layer fresh raspberries on top and then add the remaining mousse. Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
- Serve: Transfer to plates, garnish with extra raspberries, and enjoy!
