Chocolate Mousse Recipe 

New!

• 200g of 74%(minimum)cocoa solids dark chocolate
• 4 large eggs seperated
• 1 tablespoon brandy....or tia maria or cointreau
• 2-3 tablespoons hot water

1. Break up the chocolate into small pieces and place into a large heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering hot water. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water.
2. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted.
3. Remove from the heat and put to one side.
4. Meanwhile using an electric hand whisk beat up the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
5. Gradually add the brandy or liquer and the hot water to the melted chocolate stirring really well. If the mixture is still very thick add a little more hot water to thin it down a little.
6. Stir in the egg yolks.
7. Carefully fold in the egg whites using a large metal spoon...try to keep as much air in the mixture as possible.
8. When all the ingredients are evenly combined divide between 6 glasses.
9. Put into the fridge to set. This will take approximately 4 hours.
10. When about to serve top with whipped cream and grated chocolate.
