Steps

Place chopped dark chocolate in the GastroLab bowl.

⏱ 2 min💡 Chop chocolate into pieces no larger than 1 cm for even melting.

Heat chocolate until melted and smooth.

GastroLab:

Install stirring attachment. On touchscreen: select Manual → set 55°C, Speed 1, Time 3 min → press knob to start. Stir gently until chocolate is fully melted.

⏱ 3 min💡 Low heat prevents chocolate from seizing. Stir occasionally.

Remove bowl from GastroLab and let chocolate cool to room temperature (about 5 minutes).

⏱ 5 min💡 Cooling prevents scrambling the egg yolks.

Add egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract to the cooled chocolate.

⏱ 1 min💡 Stir by hand until well combined.

Whip the cold heavy cream with the butterfly whisk until stiff peaks form.

GastroLab:

Install butterfly whisk. Add cold cream to a clean bowl. On touchscreen: select Food Processor → Speed 3, Time 5 min → press knob to start. Watch carefully; stop when stiff peaks form (usually 3–4 minutes).

⏱ 4 min💡 Do not overbeat or the cream will turn to butter. Stop early and check consistency.

Fold whipped cream gently into the chocolate mixture by hand using a spatula.

⏱ 2 min💡 Use a rubber spatula and fold gently from bottom to top to keep the mousse airy. Do not use the GastroLab for this step.

Divide mousse into serving glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.

⏱ 10 min💡 Can be made up to 4 hours in advance.

Chef's note: Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Pairs beautifully with espresso or a dessert wine.
