TRADITIONAL FRENCH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
You start by melting your chocolate and butter (feel free to make it an adult-only version and add a tablespoon of your favourite liquor to the mix). In another bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar over heat until fluffy and pale. Whisk your egg whites and incorporate them all together. Allow to set in the fridge for a few hours.
You can add your mouse to individual pots or add to a large bowl, like I have, and let everyone dig in. What’s a little chocolate mousse between friends!
Make a simple biscuit base in a spring form cake-pan and add the mouse to the top, set in the fridge, dust with cocoa – instant chocolate mousse tart!
Add to glasses, set, and then top with cream, chocolate shards, raspberries – a perfect make ahead dessert for dinner parties.
Make an adults only version with a shot of rum and coffee – just like the Julia Childs version – yum!
