Chocolate Mousse Extra (Feyzan’s)
Ingredients
- 300 gr. (10 oz.) good quality plain chocolate
- 3 medium eggs, separated
- 85 gr. (3 oz.) unsalted butter
- 450 ml (16 fl. oz.) double cream
- (lightly whipped)
- For decoration: 85 gr. (3 oz.) white chocolate
Method
1
Melt chocolate in a bowl over simmering pan (bain marie). Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks and butter into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the double cream.
2
Whisk egg whites until just stiff and fold them into the chocolate mixture until light and smooth.
3
Can be divided between 6 glasses (but can do 8 as it is quite rich). Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes (better overnight).
4
To serve, draw a peeler over the white chocolate to form curls and scatter over the top of the mousse.

This is not so much a mousse - more like a torte!
