- In the bowl of a stand mixer (hand mixer may also be used) beat egg whites on high until frothy, add the lemon juice.
- Continue to beat egg whites, slowly adding the granulated sugar a few tablespoons at a time (allow to mix in before adding more). Beat eggs until stiff but not dry.
- Stir egg yolks into the chocolate. Gently stir in a third of the egg white mixture into the chocolate.
- Combine the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the egg white mixture and gently mix them together completely.
- Spoon the mousse mixture into the prepared ramekins or jars and gently tap the containers on a countertop to release any bubbles.
- Cover and fully chill before serving.
