. 1 cup (240 ml) of 35% whipping cream
. 2 large egg whites

PREPARATION:

Two serving size choices:

4-6 small ramekins...or...1 freezer container

Microwave - Method- a:

In a small medium heat proof bowl:

. Place all your chopped chocolate, pour the cream over the chocolate.
. Microwave on high for 45 seconds...take out...let rest for 30 seconds.  STIR until all is completely smoothly melted.
. At this point...you can add the optional sweet syrup.
. Let the chocolate stand at room temperature...stirring occasionally...until it is completely cooled (about 1 hour).
OR ... Stove-Top Method- b:
. In a small-medium sized bowl: place the chopped chocolate. Set aside.
. In a small pot, warm up cream at medium heat till you see bubbles around the edge of the pot. Remove from heat . Let stand 5 minutes.
. Pour this cream over the chocolate, let stand for 5 minutes.
Then, with a small spatula...stir till all is smoothly melted.
     . At this point...you can add the optional sweet syrup.
. Let the chocolate stand at room temperature...stirring occasionally...until it is completely cooled (about 1 hour).

When Chocolate Mix is completely cooled:

. Whip the egg whites with pre-chilled beaters and a medium sized bowl (preferably stainless steel or copper).

. . Tilt the bowl to begin whipping...as it will take about 5 minutes to get a ribbon effect which will form peaks.
. Slowly pour chocolate mix into the egg whites by gradually folding both to create some fluffy airiness.

Freezing the Chocolate Mix:
. Now, you can either pour the finished chocolate mousse into the individual ramekins ...or...place inside a freezer container to later scoop out like ice-cream.
. The ramekin servings will be ready in about 2-3 hours / the container...anywhere between 4-6 hours ... depends on freezers.

  
Note about serving:
. If you chose the individual ramekins...take out of freezer at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

. If you chose a container...take out of freezer at least 30 minutes before scooping out the mousse.
