    Tips

    Tips for a good mousse: - Use really fresh top quality free-range eggs. - Never over-heat chocolate as it will 'seize' i.e. split and turn grainy. - When whisking the whites, make sure that all the equipment is spotlessly clean and make sure that absolutely no yolk finds its way into the whites. - When combining the chocolate and meringue use a large sharp-edged metal spoon as this helps with the 'cut and fold' technique. A wooden spoon will bash out all the air you've taken so much trouble to retain.

    Ingredients

    • 320g(12oz) Strong dark eating chocolate
    • 30g (1oz)  unsalted butter
    • 6 eggs
    •  pinch of salt

    Method

    1. Separate the eggs, placing the whites into a roomy bowl.

    3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in another roomy bowl set over a pan with a centimetre of barely simmering water.

    5. Add the butter and allow both to gently melt. Stir occasionally.

    7. In the meantime, add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and whisk to the soft peak (floppy) stage.

    9. In a separate bowl, break up the yolks. When the chocolate and butter have melted and have been allowed to cool for a couple of minutes stir in the yolks.

    11. Cut and fold in the whites in three batches until seamlessly combined.

    13. Pour into ramekins and refrigerate for a couple of hours to set.

        Tips

        Decorate this mousse with almost anything you like. I sometimes use fruit or cream blobs which I add via an icing piper to give it a special decorative look and feel.
