Decadent chocolate mousse cups featuring layers of bittersweet and milk chocolate, whipped cream, and cookie crunch, perfect for sharing with loved ones.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz bittersweet chocolate (min 70% cocoa solids), chopped
  • 8 oz milk (or semisweet) chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp espresso (can substitute rum or cognac)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • â…› tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies
  • Shaved chocolate, for garnish
  • Whipped cream, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolates: Put bittersweet and milk chocolate in separate heatproof bowls. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until bubbles just begin to form along the edges. Pour ¾ cup over the bittersweet chocolate and the remaining ½ cup over the milk chocolate. Let sit a few minutes to melt, then whisk each until smooth.
  2. Prepare the egg yolks: Separate eggs, placing 2 yolks in the bittersweet chocolate bowl and 2 yolks in the milk chocolate bowl. Whisk the yolks into each chocolate mixture until smooth.
  3. Add flavor enhancements: Whisk espresso into the bittersweet chocolate mixture and vanilla into the milk chocolate mixture; set both aside.
  4. Beat the egg whites: Add salt to the egg whites and beat with a handheld mixer until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, slowly add sugar, and continue beating until peaks are glossy and just stiff.
  5. Combine with meringue: Scoop half the meringue into the bittersweet chocolate mixture and fold in until just combined. Divide this mousse among 8 small glasses or jars. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons crushed chocolate cookies.
  6. Finish the milk chocolate mousse: Add the remaining meringue to the milk chocolate mixture and fold until evenly combined. Spoon on top of the crushed cookie layer.
  7. Chill until firm: Cover the cups and chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
  8. Garnish and serve: Top each parfait with 2 tablespoons crushed cookies. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls before serving.

Notes

Ensure your chocolate is of good quality for best results. Consider flavor variations like orange zest or mint-infused cream.
