Method
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks and set aside.
- Set up a double boiler to melt your chocolate. Do this by pouring a few centimetres of water into a pot and bringing to a simmer. Place a snug fitting glass or stainless steel bowl on top of the pot. Place chocolate into the bowl and stir until completely melted, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Once the chocolate has cooled, beat in with the egg yolks thoroughly until smooth and glossy.
- Fold the chocolate mix into the whipped cream. Be careful not to mix too much as we want to keep the mousse fluffy and aerated.
- In a separate bowl beat your egg whites to stiff peaks while slowly adding the sugar.
- Once beaten, fold half of the egg whites into the chocolate and cream mixture. Once combined, fold in the second half of the egg white.
- Place the mousse into the fridge and cool for at least two hours until serving.
- Enjoy with as many sexy toppings as you desire!
