1 In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until the sugar is melted.
2 Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan. Remove from stove and add a 3-4 tablespoons
of hot heavy cream to the yolk mixture. Mix well then add a few more
tablespoons, then add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream. Mix well.
3 Transfer the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan and keep cooking until bubbly.
4 Add the chocolate and mix until the chocolate is melted, stirring continuously.
5 Remove from heat and cool the pudding completely. Chill in the fridge for an
additional hour. Keep the beaters in the fridge too.
6 Beat the pudding for a couple of minutes, with the mixer on high.
7 Using chilled beaters, bowl and heavy cream, mix the sugar and heavy cream until
you get stiff peaks and the sugar is completely incorporated into the heavy
cream.
8 Transfer the chocolate pudding to the whipped cream and mix with a hand mixer on
medium. Add to individual cups with a spoon or by pipping the mousse. Chill in
the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
