A brand new section on how to make some delicious desserts with our chocolate.
Instructions
1. Make sure the glasses you will be putting the mousse into are nice and clean, give them a quick wipe out with a clean tissue.
2. lightly whisk up to egg yolks until mixed well.
3. melt the 60% Dark chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until melted, stirring inbetween. it doesnt matter if it gets a little too warm as it will all be mixed in.
4. with a small teaspoon drizzle a very small amount of chocolate around the edges of the glasses.
** TOP TIP** hold the glass at an angle and move it around while the chocolate drizzles off the spoon.
5. Using a hand whisk or electric if you prefer whisk the egg white to stiff peaks. this means so the egg will at least triple in size and go very fluffy looking. slant the bowl to one side and if it still looks like it will tip about the bowl whisk some more.
** TIP ** if your brave enough put the bowl over your head to see if the you have whisked to stiff peaks. if you have it shouldnt fall out!!
6. With a silicone spatula quickly mix the melted chocolate with egg yolks ** if the chocolate has set slightly quickly put it back into the microwave for 30seconds**
7. ensuring the egg whites have not deflated fold in the chocolate mixture slowly being sure not to beat too much air out but in the meantime throroughly mixing so there are no white patches. You will start to see the mousse setting.
8. Quickly spoon the mixture evenly into the glasses and refrigerate for a few hours. sprinkle with decorations before eating.
