First, separate the eggs and set the yolks aside. Finely grate the ginger. Whisk the egg whites and the cream until stiff peaks form. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl with the tablespoon of hot water until creamy. Then stir in the sugar and ginger. Now fold in the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Then, using a whisk, fold in the beaten egg whites and cream. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for a good 2 hours.
