Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup La Panza Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 cup dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Fresh berries for garnish

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate:

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate either using a double boiler or in short intervals in the microwave. Stir until smooth.

Incorporate Olive Oil:

Slowly whisk La Panza Extra Virgin Olive Oil into the melted chocolate until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Whip the Egg Yolks:

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar until it becomes pale and slightly thick. Add the vanilla extract and continue whisking.

Combine Chocolate and Yolks:

Gently fold the chocolate and olive oil mixture into the egg yolks until smooth and uniform.

Beat the Egg Whites:

In another clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue beating until glossy and stiff peaks form.

Fold in Egg Whites:

Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Use gentle, upward strokes to maintain the mousse's light and airy texture.

Chill:

Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until set.

Serve:

Before serving, garnish with fresh berries. The combination of chocolate, olive oil, and berries creates a delightful treat.
