Step 1
Melt the 6 oz dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whip 1 cup of the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with the 2 tbsp sugar and 0.25 tsp salt until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until just combined. Then gently fold in the egg whites until no streaks remain.
Step 5
Divide the mousse among 4 serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.
Step 6
Before serving, whip the remaining 0.5 cup heavy cream until soft peaks. Top each mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and a handful of raspberries.
