Dan's Chocolate Mousse

This is a recipe I created yesterday that is awesome!The servings are not large, but they are very rich. You really only need that much, believe me. Each serving has about 8 carbs, so it will satisify your chocolate cravings without ruining your diet and training. Dan wanted me to make sure that everyone knows that it was his idea :)

Dan's Chocolate Mousse

4 Eggs

6 Oz. Unsweetened Chocolate

1 Shot Espresso

½ cup milk

¼ cup stevia (I used Truvia)

1. Melt chocolate and espresso in a double boiler.

2. Add the milk and stevia. Stir until smooth. Then remove from the heat.

3. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites.

4. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

5. Beat the eggs yolks.

6. Add a spoonful of the chocolate mixture to the egg yolks and stir well.

7. Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture and beat until smooth.

8. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites.

Weakness

Most people fear admitting weakness. We don't want people to see are faults or think we are actually bad at something. So what do we do? Ignore it. Maybe we even avoid being in situations where we need that skill altogether, maybe we miss out on some pretty awesome stuff just so we don't have to show weakness.

My biggest weakness in lifting is my upper body. I'm very proud of my lower-body lifts and I am constantly progressing. However, I do not feel the same way about my upper-body. I've really been struggling. But should I let my weak upper body keep me from doing well as a competitive RAW Powerlifter? NO! I've adjusted my training weights and added assistance exercises to try and get stronger. Right now, I'm lifting embarrassingly small weight for my strict press, but I don't care. I am doing it to build strength and allow me to progress. I am going to do what I need to do to work on my weakness so my weakness does not hold me back.


What weaknesses are holding you back?
