Chocolate Mousse

• Ingredients:

• 100g chocolate
• 4 egg yolks
• 50g caster sugar
• 6 egg whites

Method:

1. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water, then set the bowl aside and 
let the chocolate cool a little. 
2. Whisk together the egg yolks and 40g of the sugar for a few minutes until 
the mixture thickens, becoming pale and fluffy. Pour in the cooled chocolate 
and fold together gently. 
3. Whisk the egg whites in a large clean bowl until they are stiff, 
but not dry. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture becomes glossy. 
4. Spoon a third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and stir together - 
you don't want any flecks of white. Gently fold in the remaining whites, then 
pour into a serving bowl. Chill in the fridge overnight to set. 
Decorate with chocolate shavings before serving.
