Classic Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 eggs, separated
• 2/3 cup thickened cream, whipped
• Whipped cream and grated dark chocolate, to serve

Method

1. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high (100%) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring with a metal spoon halfway through cooking, or until smooth. Cool slightly.
2. Stir in egg yolks until just combined. Stir in cream. Using an electric mixer, beat eggwhites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold eggwhite, in 2 batches, into chocolate mixture.
