Chocolate Mousse



 Ingredients

200g dark chocolate, you could use white or milk
chocolate
4 eggs, room temperature, separated
300ml thickened cream or pure cream, it has to be whipping cream

Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl; melt in short bursts in the microwave, stirring every few seconds. Alternatively put in glass bowl over a pot of simmering water stirring until chocolate is melted- cool slightly then add egg yolks one at a time, (the yolks should not go in cold), beat well. If the mixture hardens put in microwave for a few seconds. In a large bowl whip cream till soft peaks form. Gently fold chocolate mixture into cream. In a clean bowl beat eggwhite until soft peaks form. Lightly fold half the eggwhites into the cream and chocolate mixture. Gently fold, and then add the other half of the eggwhite. Lightly fold until well combined. Spoon into individual dishes or 1 big bowl. Serve with some fresh berries.

Makes 6-8 serves
