Easy Dark Chocolate Mousse

A light yet deeply chocolatey mousse made with dark chocolate and whipped egg whites, perfect for preparing ahead.

Ingredients

  • 150 g 70% dark chocolate
  • 6 egg whites
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp crème fraîche or whipped cream
  • grated dark chocolate for serving

Method

  1. Melt the dark chocolate gently in the microwave or over a bowl of barely simmering water and allow it to cool slightly.
  2. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  3. Add the sugar and continue whisking until glossy stiff peaks form.
  4. Mix about one-third of the egg whites firmly into the chocolate to loosen it.
  5. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites without knocking out too much air.
  6. Spoon into four glasses or ramekins.
  7. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until set.
  8. Serve with crème fraîche or whipped cream and grated chocolate.
