Hot Chocolates Chocolate Mousse

This recipe will use up the 6 egg yolks left over from the Berry Mess recipe. In this recipe I use 72.5% organic chocolate from the Hot Chocolates range. Once the mousse is made it looks more like a milk chocolate mousse so why the 72.5%? because it gives the mousse a much richer and less sugary flavour – you are tasting the cocoa bean not the added sugar you get in milk chocolate. So, what do you need?

6 egg yolks
100g caster sugar
280ml/1/2 pint double cream
100g Hot Chocolates organic dark chocolate

Method
The only pain with this recipe and it is very simple anyone can make it, is that you need a bowl to whip your cream, a bowl to melt your chocolate and a bowl to whip your sugar and eggs. Whip the cream until very soft peaks form. Whip the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Melt the chocolate in the microwave gently. Add chocolate to the egg mix and stir in thoroughly. Fold in the cream. Pour into ramekin dishes or whatever dessert dishes you have. You should get 6 generous ramekin dishes full. Put in the fridge to set for a couple of hours. Take out and enjoy!
