**Chocolate Mousse Discs**

**Ingredients:**

– **200g (7 oz) dark chocolate**, chopped
– **1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk**
– **1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream** (for melting the chocolate)
– **1 cup (240ml) heavy cream** (for whipping)
– **2 large egg yolks**
– **2 tablespoons granulated sugar**
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract**
– **Pinch of salt**
– **Optional:** Cocoa powder or melted chocolate for coating

 **Instructions:**

1. **Melt the chocolate**: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate, milk, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. **Whisk the egg yolks and sugar**: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and thick.

3. **Combine the chocolate and egg mixture**: Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

4. **Whip the cream**: In another bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.

5. **Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture**: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the mousse.

6. **Pour into molds**: Pour the mousse mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

7. **Chill the mousse**: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is fully set.

8. **Unmold and serve**: Once the mousse is set, carefully remove it from the molds. If desired, you can dust the tops with cocoa powder or dip them in melted chocolate for a glossy finish.

9. **Serve chilled** and enjoy your creamy, rich chocolate mousse discs!

These chocolate mousse discs are a delightful and elegant dessert, perfect for any chocolate lover. Enjoy!
