Chocolate Mousse (Mom's Quick Recipe)

Recipe courtesy of Robert Dekeersgieter, Spirit of the Ethan Allen III, Burlington, Vermont.

Ingredients

4 egg whites
4 tbsp. granulated sugar
7 oz. milk chocolate (I prefer Callebaut)

Directions

This whole process takes about 3-4 minutes. Separate egg whites in a hand blender bowl. Always make sure bowl is very clean. Whip with the sugar until firm peaks form; the home test was to hold the bowl upside down over someone's head (my mom used to ask for volunteers). Melt chocolate au bain marie (water bath); when melted add to the whipped egg whites and refrigerate.
