Ingredients
Step-by-Step
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of hot water until a smooth paste forms. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then fold in the cocoa powder mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two batches until no streaks remain.
Spoon the mousse into four individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
