Chocolate Chai Mousse

Preparation Steps

1. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.
2. In a medium saucepan, warm the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger over low heat, whisking occasionally.
3. In a large bowl, whip the egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
4. Allow the cream mixture to cool slightly, then fold it into the melted chocolate until well combined.
5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.
6. Spoon the mousse into individual serving cups or a large serving dish.
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
8. Serve chilled and garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.
