Easiest chocolate mousse

Easily almost everyone's favourite dessert, and this is easily easy to make. 3 ingredients, 10 mins and the mousse is ready to be chilled. I wanted to share this because it's so easy to make and it's, mousse! Perfect to make if you need a quick to make dessert or have a chocolate craving because it's so quick. Oh also, this has no cream and that is a big blessing. You don't need gelatin or anything.

Here's what you'll need. This makes 1 cup of mousse. So if you want more, you can do the math. :)
-1 egg
- 2 teaspoon heaps of sugar
- 1/3 cup semi-sweetened cooking chocolate cut into small pieces

Here are 2 things i'd like to say before describing the preparation method.
1. Amount of sugar is variable. Each person would have his/her own preference of sweetness. Amount also depends on the type of cooking chocolate you'd use. Sweetened or unsweetened.
2. Amount of chocolate is also variable. You can begin with 1/3 cup but if you like it more chocolatey, go for it!


Separate the egg yolk from the white. Beat the egg white to stiff peaks and keep aside. Melt the chocolate. This can be done in the microwave. Just put the cut-up cooking chocolate in a cup and microwave it for 1 minute. Now whisk the egg yolk with the sugar and then add in the chocolate and mix. It may become a little stiff if the chocolate is still warm, that's because the warmth will cook the yolk very lightly but don't worry about that.

Now add the beaten egg white. Mix thoroughly and pour into cups or glasses and leave to set in the refrigerator, which would take an hour or so. Once the hour's up, pick the glass up, spoon the mousse out and enjoy! :)

And here's what it'd look like once it's chilled. Sorry about the steel spoon though... :P
