  2. Add the egg yolks one at a time into the chocolate mixture, beating well after each addition.
  3. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until it thickens. Gradually incorporate the sugar into the cream until the mixture forms stiff peaks.

Take about one-third of this mixture and fold it into the chocolate mixture. Then, gently fold in the remaining cream-and-egg mixture. Pour the mousse into a serving bowl or individual dessert cups.
  5. Refrigerate the mousse until set, approximately 2 hours.
