Thumbs up Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Serves 8

Ingredients
  • 200g good quality dark chocolate (I used Nestles 70% fine)
  • 50g butter
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup (250ml) cream
  • 2 Tbls caster sugar
Method
Melt chocolate and butter in a heat-proof bowl over a simmering saucepan of water OR in the microwave. Stir until all melted and smooth. Set aside.
(I used the microwave)

Whip the cream until soft peaks form.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then sprinkle on caster sugar and whisk until mixture is thick and sugar has dissolved.

Stir the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, then fold through the cream and then the whipeed egg whites.

Spoon into one large glass bowl, or individual small bowls, cups or glasses!

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

To serve, find a good hiding spot and savour every mouthful

This dessert is truely delicious!

I think I would be just too scared to try this one!!! Too much cream....too decadent and I probably wouldn't be able to stop at one serve out of eight!! It would start calling me from the fridge!! ha ha. When you are on a roll, I say, keep it going!! Think I better pass because I know myself too well.

I froze the other serves... 6 left LOL

The original recipe didn't say if it was suitable to freeze but I'll just have to thaw one out to try for dessert 2moro nite

I used to stack on the weight with thinking about eating such delicacies... but the scales love me now... still sitting on 60kg... I'm following maintainance guildlines too!!

One serve is just enough... any more would make me ill Battler... very rich and creamy Delish

Thanks for the nice recipe Slimliz - looking forward to making it when friends come over after refeed. I could freeze some when I get to maintenance, but with teenage boys in the house, i might just be waisting my time (on their waist not mine!) I haven't had choc mousse for so long....

Lesley - congrats! you're going great with maintenance - I hope to do the same
