• ¼ cup sugar
• ⅛ cup rum
• 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate pieces
• 3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 2 egg whites, beaten stiff
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• Whipped cream and shaved chocolate, for garnish

Cook sugar and rum over low heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside. Melt chocolate in a heavy saucepan. Stir in heavy cream. Add the rum syrup to the chocolate, blending well. Cool. Fold in egg whites and chocolate mixture into the whipped cream. Pour the mousse into a serving dish or individual dessert cups are best. Chill. Garnish with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
