mousse au chocolat
**Sorry, Jenn -- I hope it's not too late! **
200g semisweet baking chocolate (preferably imported)
6 very fresh eggs
Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)
Melt the chocolate in the microwave with 4 T. water (or Grand Marnier) for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove chocolate from microwave and stir until completely melted. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Separate the eggs; beat the whites with a dash of salt until stiff peaks form.
Whisk the egg yolks into the melted chocolate.
Fold 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Carefully fold in remaining egg whites. Chill for 3 or more hours.
I like to serve it with fancy cookies, but you could also add a dollop of whipped cream.
Serves 6.

I think I know what we're having for dessert tonight! Yay. Thanks for posting your recipe!
That sounds good, but I wish I was at your place eating it with you.
Oh that sounds so good! Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to try it too!
This sounds so heavenly I will have to try it!! When I go to visit my parents I will have to make it for them also. They will be in heaven!
Sorry you parents had to leave. That is the worst for me also. They are such good looking people!

That sounds excellent!
My mouth is watering! I love chocolate mousse! Maybe you can teach me to make this when I move to Utah!
thanks Michelle- David couldn't come today so I have another week. Will my imported chocolate say grams? And where would I find Grand Marnier?
Thanks for posting- we are all excited to try this!
