Chocolate Mousse

This is a rich chocolate dessert, only a small portion the size of an espresso cup is needed per person.

Ingredients for 5-6 portions:
  • 150gr black chocolate
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 3tbsp Orange Liqueur or juice
  • 25 gr butter
Gently melt the chocolate with the liqueur and butter in a heavy based pan. Turn off the heat as soon as the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Crack one egg, separate the white and place it in a bowl; fold the yolk into the chocolate. Repeat this with the other two yolks.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff.
Take one spoonful of the whisked egg white and mix it into the chocolate to loosen it. Now fold the rest of the egg white into the chocolate.
Pour the chocolate mousse into 6 individual coffee cups or one large bowl.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
Serve with a little whipped cream.
