Best Answer

The egg yolk helps set the mousse, and adds richness. The sugar is necessary for sweetness and texture. If your recipe involves beating egg yolk and sugar together until pale and fluffy, this results in tiny airbubbles being trapped in the mixture. These air bubbles are what makes your chocolate mousse a "mousse".
