Mousse au chocolat

Chocolate mousse is so easy to make, it's rich and creamy and just delish. Another recipe that should be made the day before or in the morning for a dinner party. Serves 8.

Ingredients:
  • 250g dark chocolate
  • 50g butter
  • 5 eggs, separated
  • 2 T spiced rum
  • A pinch of salt

Method:

Break the chocolate into squares and melt with the butter in the microwave or on the stove top.

 
Stir until smooth, add the pinch of salt, the rum and the egg yolks. Mix well.

 
Beat the egg yolks until very stiff and incorporate delicately, in a few batches as not to "break" the mousse.

 

 
Pour into individual ramekins or a pretty serving dish.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
