Love me today for there may be no tomorrow


200g dark eating chocolate, chopped
30g unsalted butter
3 eggs, separated
300ml thickened cream, whipped

1. Melt chocolate and butter in large glass heatproof bowl over large saucepan of simmering water.  Remove from heat.  Stir in egg yolks; cool
2. Beat egg whites in small bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form
3. Meanwhile, fold cream into chocolate mixture; fold in egg whites in two batches
4. Spoon mousse mixture into serving dishes; refrigerate 3 hours or overnight

tip...make sure your eggs are at room temp 







I topped mine off with crumbled up peppermint crisp!

  2. I crumbled sesame honey crisps on top first time round, then for 2nd go (which was new year's eve) we just had a massive bowl to share & used the crisps like crackers & dip.

    The most outrageous mousse experience ever.
