Instructions

1. Chop the dark chocolate and melt it over a water bath until it is liquid. Then cool them down slightly.
2. Meanwhile separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until frothy and beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff. The egg white is good if you can cut into it with a knife or turn the bowl without the egg white falling out. The cream is also whipped.
3. Now rub approx. 1/3 of the tonka bean into the slightly cooled, melted chocolate and stir. Then add a small teaspoon of rum (only for the taste. Can also be left out if, for example, children are eating) and stir the chocolate again. Now stir in the egg and sugar mixture until it becomes even. Then stir in the cream until the mixture is even again. Finally, carefully fold in the egg white.
4. Now you can fill the mousse either in small glasses or in a large bowl. Let the dessert cool for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight) and then serve.
5. For example, forest fruit groats or just fresh forest fruits go well with it.
