How to make it

  • This recipe may have few ingredients, but it does call for some skill and attention!
  • Put the chocolate and water, into a bowl, and set over a saucepan until the chocolate is just melted. See cooking tips with melting chocolate and be sure to follow the Bain Marie method described, with care. Use a chocolate thermometer if you have one. Do not let it get too hot and stir gently and as little as possible!
  • Remove bowl from heat and add in the butter. Leave for 1 minute, then stir in the egg yolks, one at a time.
  • Put the egg whites into a clean bowl, and using an electric whisk or mixer, whisk until stiff peaks form.
  • Stir about ΒΌ of the egg white into the butter and chocolate to loosen the mixture. Then using a large metal spoon fold in the rest of the egg whites in around three further roughly equal additions.
  • Carefully spoon into the serving bowls you want to use. You could use some nice coffee cups, or pretty glasses.
  • Chill for two hours. Eat within 12 hours. Do not freeze.
  • Try this variation on the basic chocolate mousse recipe:
