- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks for 3 minutes until thick. Gradually add the sugar while beating.
- In a small sauce pan heat up 1 cup of heavy cream until hot. With the mixer on medium, drizzle 1/2 of the hot cream into the eggs. Once combined, pour the mixture into the pot with the remaining 1/2 cup cream. Turn the heat to low and cook until thick, stirring constantly (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the vanilla and then add in the chocolate in 3 batches, stirring over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Pour the warm chocolate mixture into a large bowl, cover, and place in fridge for 1.5-2 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes. Once it is cooled and no longer warm, remove from the fridge and in a mixing bowl with wire attachment (or hand held mixer) whip up the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the cream into the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Pipe or spoon the mouse into small glasses. Cover and place in fridge until ready to serve.
- Garnish with fresh whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
