Mousse al Cioccolato (Chocolate Mousse)

This dairy-free chocolate mousse is made with just two ingredients—dark chocolate and eggs—and can easily be transformed into a rich flourless chocolate cake.

Passover Chocolate Mousse Cake

What makes the cake so special is its texture. The egg whites make the base of the cake fluffy and the top of the cake gets richness and creaminess from yolks.
