Ultimate Dark Chocolate Mousse For A Crowd

• 9 ounces, weight High Quality Dark Chocolate
• 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 6 whole Large Eggs, Whites And Yolks Separated
• 2 teaspoons Good Vanilla Extract
• 3-1/2 Tablespoons Frangelico (or Liqueur Of Choice - Amaretto Is Tasty - Or Strongly Brewed Coffee)
• 4 Tablespoons Sugar
• 1-1/2 cup Heavy Cream

1. Melt chocolate in a large bowl over a double boiler.
2. Whisk the butter into the melted chocolate one tablespoon at a time, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla and booze. Set the chocolate mixture aside.
3. Beat the egg whites; as they reach soft peaks, pour in the sugar and continue beating to stiff peaks.
4. Whisk a third of the beaten whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the rest.
5. Beat 1 cup of the cream to stiff peaks, fold it into the chocolate in two batches.
6. Pour the mousse into your serving dish of choice. Whip the rest of the cream and spread it over the mousse; if you'd like, you can spike this with booze as well, or sweeten to your taste. Chill for at least two hours, if you can. Eat within 36.
