Dark Chocolate and Orange mousse

Ingredients

150g dark chocolate

50ml double cream

3 eggs separated

Zest of one orange

2 tbsp sugar

Peeled orange zest to serve

Method

To start, break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Melt over the pan of simmering water adding in the cream along with the orange zest, and mix. Another option is to melt the chocolate in a microwave but for best results use a pan.

Beat the egg yolks with sugar and stir well. Whisk the egg whites to form stiff peaks, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture until it’s fully merged together.

From here, pour into individual moulds. You can use a tea or espresso cup and place it into the fridge for two hours until hard and chilled. To serve, garnish with peeled orange zest.
