Easy Chocolate Mousse

Easy Chocolate Mousse

1 1/4 cups semisweet-chocolate chips 
3 tablespoons sugar 
Fine salt 
2/3 cup whole milk 
3 large egg whites 
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract 
1/2 cup heavy cream 
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies

1. In a blender, combine chocolate, sugar, and pinch of salt. In a small saucepan, bring milk to a simmer, then transfer to blender. Let stand 1 minute. Blend on high until smooth, 1 minute. Add egg whites and peppermint extract and blend on high until well combined, 1 minute. Divide evenly among four 6-ounce dessert cups. Chill until just set, 6 hours or up to overnight.

2. Just before serving, beat cream until soft peaks form. Dollop each cup with whipped cream and sprinkle with peppermint candies.
