Check out this recipe for making Gluten-Free Chocolate Mousse at home.

Requires only 4 ingredients!

Ingredients

6 1/2 Ounces Heavy Whipping Cream

6 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate

1 1/2 Ounces Sugar

1 Whole Egg

2 Egg Yolks

Directions:

Whip the cream in a mixer on high until firm and set aside

Melt the chocolate in the microwave for about 60 seconds (if needed for 30 more seconds), 

set aside to cool slightly

Begin boiling the sugar with just a bit of water and use a thermometer to monitor the temperature

In a mixing bowl or stand mixer whip the egg and yolks until ribbon stage -

 this is when the eggs are thick enough that you can run a "ribbon" of eggs over the top and it will stay.

Once the sugar reaches 220 degrees farenheight, 

slowly add it to the whipped eggs while mixer is on highest setting

After the sugar is mixed in, add the chocolate in increments of thirds until fully combined - on medium speed

Add all the whipped cream and mix just until combined - on medium speed.

Cover with plastic wrap and set to cool in the fridge for 4 hours

Enjoy!
