Chocolate Mousse (Dairy Free)

Who doesn't love chocolate mousse?  Here is a simple one that's dairy-free, sent to us by the people of Chocolate Maya.

Ingredients: 

6 egg whites
7 oz  (200 g) dark chocolate (60% to 70% cacao depending on your taste)
1 oz (30 g) sugar

Directions: 

Beat the egg whites and sugar to form a solid peak.

Melt the chocolate using a bain marie (double boiler).

Incorporate the melted chocolate into the egg white using a wooden spoon, mixing gently but firmly.

Transfer the mix into a bowl, cover the bowl, place in the fridge for a good 6 hours.

Delicious chocolate mousse, very light and fluffy. The secret is... use a very high quality chocolate.
