Chocolate mousse

Ingredients

  1. 125ml double cream
  2. 125g good-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
  3. 1 tbsp brandy (optional)
  4. 2 medium free-range eggs, separated

Method

  1. 1. Heat the cream in a saucepan over a medium heat until just boiling, then remove from the heat. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, pour over the hot cream and stir until the chocolate melts. Add the brandy (if using), and whisk in the egg yolks.
  2. 2. In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until just stiff, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture with a metal spoon, being careful not to knock all the air out. Spoon into little bowls or glasses and chill for 1-2 hours in the fridge to set. Serve with mint biscuits.
