Chocolate Mousse
Hubby claims he’s not a big dessert guy. Or a big chocolate guy. I have a hard time believing that because no matter what I bake, he always wants a bite. But even after everything I’ve made, this chocolate mousse is one of his favorites of all time. We literally have to hide the bowl so there is enough to share with others.
Hubby’s mom makes this for every holiday that we’re home. I’ve never tried to make this, but she gave me the recipe and permission to post it on here (thanks N!)
This mousse is best the day it’s made. If you need to make it in advance, be sure to give it a good stir prior to serving.
Chocolate Mousse
Yield: ~20 servings
Ingredients:
6 eggs, at room temp, washed with soap and water, 5 separated, 1 slightly beaten
1 pint heavy cream
1/2 lb chocolate
1/3 c powdered sugar
Directions:
Using the whisk attachment on a stand mixer, beat the 5 egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, whip cream with powdered sugar.
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate. Add the beaten egg and mix together. Beat in the egg yolks of the 5 separated eggs. Mix chocolate mixture together with whipped cream. Carefully fold in the egg whites. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
Note, if using white chocolate, it needs to be melted with some liquor, milk, or cream.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I think everything said made a ton of sense.
But, think on this, what if you added a little information? I am not saying
your information is not good., but what if you added a
title that makes people desire more? I mean Alton Brown's
"The Chewy" | Beantown Baker is a little boring.
You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create news titles to get people interested.
You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.
