Chocolate Mousse Cake
- 12 oz semi sweet chocolate bits
- 4 tbs sugar
- 6 tbs cold water
- 6 eggs, separated
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups heavy sweet cream
- 2 pkg lady fingers
- 2 cups heavy sweet cream for topping
- Melt chocolate and water in double boiler. Add sugar. Mix well. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Beat egg yolks until lemon colored. Stir the chocolate mixture into the yolks and beat until smooth.
- Fold stiffly beaten egg whites into cold chocolate mixture. Beat heavy cream and vanilla until whipped; fold into other mixture.
- Grease and line sides and bottom of a 10 inch spring form pan with ladyfingers. Pour in chocolate mixture. Chill for 24 hours. Top with whipped cream (I put in a little sugar and vanilla when whipping the cream) just before serving.
