directions

Chop the Toblerone chocolate and melt it gently in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly.

In a small saucepan, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches 160°F (71°C), about 3–4 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid scrambling.

Remove from heat and stir in the melted Toblerone and vanilla extract until fully combined. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in batches until fully incorporated and fluffy.

Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.

Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with toppings if desired.
