pudding - chocolate mousse

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 100 g bar dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• 50 g caster sugar
• 2 large eggs, separated

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1
Put the chocolate in a bowl and add 2 tbsps water. Place the bowl over a pan of just simmering water until the chocolate in the bowl melts, stirring it occasionally.

Step 2
Remove the bowl from the heat and beat in the egg yolks.

Step 3
Whisk the egg whites until stiff, and then gradually whisk in the caster sugar to make a meringue.

Step 4
Fold about a third of the meringue into the chocolate mixture using a large metal spoon, to loosen it.

Step 5
Pour the chocolate mixture into the remaining meringue and fold it together.

Step 6
Divide this between serving glasses and chill the mousse until it’s set. The mousses may be made a day in advance of serving.
