How To Make heavenly chocolate mousse

•

  Melt chocolate with 1/4 cup heavy cream in a pan. Then put into a larger-sized bowl. Set aside.
• 
  Step 2

• 
  Step 3
  Warm 3/4 cup of heavy cream in heavy pan until bubbles just start to form around edges.
• 
  Step 4
  Temper egg yolks mixture into warm cream by slowly pouring the cream into egg yolks, gently stirring. Then pour the eggs & cream mixture back into the pan.
• 
  Step 5
  Return mixture to medium heat and stir continuously until custard just thickens to a slight boil & a wooden spoon dragged through the custard leaves a trail that stays in place.

• 
  Step 7
  Whip the 2 cups of heavy cream & powdered sugar with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
