2 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse!
Serves 2
Preparation time: 5 minutes (needs to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours)
- 100g/3.5ozs. your favourite chocolate (better to use plain chocolate rather than chocolate with bits in it eg praline)
- 3 eggs, separated (make sure that there is no yolk in the whites or it won't whip up to stiff peaks!)
Step 1 - Melt chocolate in large bowl over a double boiler or in a microwave until smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks until combined and set aside to cool while you whisk the whites.
Step 2 - In the bowl of an electric mixer whisk the egg whites until it reaches stiff peaks. With a clean spoon or ladle, scoop out a third of the egg whites and using a large metal spoon, fold the whites into the chocolate mix. Add the next 1/3 of the whites and then the rest making sure that you don't add in any liquid egg white at the bottom. If there is any, return the bowl to the mixer and whisk again to get stiff peaks.
Step 3 - Pour the mixture into cups of bowls. It will be a little liquidy but it will firm up. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
And then one if you don't want to eat eggs...
2 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse (No Eggs)
Serves 2
Preparation time: 5 minutes
- 100g/3.5ozs. your favourite chocolate
- 250ml/1 cup cream
Step 1 - Melt chocolate in large bowl over a double boiler or in a microwave until smooth. Cool while you whip the cream.
Step 2 - Start whisking the cream and when you get soft peaks add in the chocolate and continue whisking. Sometimes I get chocolate chips in this (which I regard as a bonus), sometimes it is smooth.
