Rich dark chocolate mousse that sets perfectly in the fridge. Three ingredients, no baking, genuinely impressive. Make the night before and relax.

Double cream100 ml

How to make it 👨‍🍳

1

Melt the Dark chocolate 70% in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (a bain-marie), stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes.

2

Separate the Eggs — yolks into one bowl, whites into another.

3

Add the Salt to the egg whites and whisk to stiff peaks — glossy and firm, standing straight up when you lift the whisk.

4

Whisk the Caster sugar into the egg yolks until pale and thickened.

5

Stir the yolk mixture into the cooled melted chocolate until smooth.

6

Whip the Double cream in a separate bowl to soft peaks — it should just hold its shape.

7

Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.

8

Fold in the stiff egg whites in three batches using a large spoon and a gentle figure-of-eight motion — keep as much air in as possible.

9

Spoon into glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Serve chilled.
