Chocolate Mousse
This is the fancier version of the mousse we make in our workshops, but it’s just as tasty and uses up all the egg yolks too!
Instructions
- Separate the eggs. Separate the eggs, with the whites into a large bowl and the yolks into a small one.
- Whisk the egg yolks with a little of the sugar until you have a uniform consistency (it all looks the same!)
- Melt the chocolate, but don’t get it too hot! Get an adult to help you as this will be hot!
- Whip the cream- Beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Whip the egg whites adding the rest of the sugar to the egg whites and keep going until you have firm peaks.
- Using a spatula or metal spoon carefully mix the egg yolks into the chocolate – take care to check it’s not too hot to avoid making chocolatey scrambled eggs!
- Pour the cream mixture into the chocolate and mix – try to fold this rather than stir in
- Stir or beat one large spoonful of the egg whites into the chocolate and mix until there are no more lumps.
- Fold the rest of the egg whites in – as gently as you can until the mixture is fully incorporated.
- Spoon the mixture into 4 small glasses or pots. Refrigerate for 4 hours – or just dive in if you’re hungry!
