Ingredients

Cost per recipe $0.45 view details
  • 300 gm Luxury dark continental chocolate, (75% cocoa solids)
  • 4 Tbsp. Caster sugar
  • 3 x Egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 7 x Egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 lrg Dash of strong dark rum
  • 50 gm Unsalted butter, softened

Directions

  1. Break the chocolate into little squares and place in a bowl over some gently simmering warm water to heat them. Don't overheat or possibly you will coagulate the chocolate. Whisk half of the sugar with the egg yolks till smooth and creamy. Then, with a clean dry whisk, whisk the whites till stiff and foamy and then add in the remaining sugar to the whites and continue to whisk together.
  2. The secret here is to add in the sugar towards the end, otherwise the whites won't stiffen. On the addition of the sugar the peaks will take on a glossy look and you should then add in the rum. Now divide the egg whites between three separate dishes.
  3. Add in the butter to the melted chocolate and remove the pan from the heat. Now the timing is crucial - once cold ingredients are added to the chocolate, it will start to solidify so rapid whisking is required to avoid chocolate "chips".
  4. First, fold the yolk mix into the first lot of whites and mix thoroughly but gently. Then add in the chocolate mix quickly and fold thoroughly together to blend the chocolate.
  5. Next, mix in the second batch of whites gently with a large spoon, and stir around. Then add in the final batch, folding very gently to distribute the whites proportionately and keep the mousse as light as possible. Work with upward movements to get as much air as possible into the bowl, and do not overwork each stage. Stop as soon as the whites are fully incorporated.
  6. Spoon the mousse mix quickly into serving dishes or possibly ramekins and chill for a couple of hrs before serving. Remove the mousse from the fridge 15 min or possibly so before serving.
