DESSERT: Amazing, easy, dark-chocolate, agave-sweetened mousse

I've attempted a chocolate mousse before , but this is a better alternative for those of us who don't have the time or patience to monitor buttermilk on the stove. 

Servings: 4-5

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of skim milk
• 8 ounces of dark chocolate (try the bittersweet pound plus Trader Joe's bar)
• 3 tablespoons of agave
• Pinch of salt
• 3 large eggs, seperated
• 3 tablespoons of vanilla (or coffee)

Instructions:

• Melt the chocolate in a medium sized bowl - I recommend a double boiler setup (place the chocolate in a bowl in a pan full of water over medium heat)
• Beat the egg yolks and mix in the salt and the vanilla
• Vigorously whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form
  
• Wait until the chocolate visibly starts to melt - pour the milk into the chocolate - whisk vigorously 
• Pour the agave into the chocolate and whisk
  
• Mix in egg yolks one at a time into the melted chocolate concoction - whisk
  
• Take the chocolate bowl off of the stove
  
• Mix in the egg whites slowly - whisk
• Set the mixture aside to cool
• After about 5-10 minutes, place the bowl into the fridge for 30-45 minutes
• Garnish with strawberries, whipped cream, or a sprig of mint
  
• Serve and enjoy!
