Slowly add the bourbon to the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously.
Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixture:
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined.
Whip Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Fold Together:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined, being careful not to deflate the mousse too much.
Chill:
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve:
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of sea salt if desired. Enjoy!
This rich and creamy mousse is perfect for a sophisticated dessert that will impress any chocolate lover.
