I am not really a fan of mousse and I have never made any mousse before, except that the one I once made orange mousse as the filling of layered chocolate cake for my friend. However, I am a big fan of dark chocolate and quite happy to try it this time. I have this recipe adapted from Donna Hay magazine, of course.
The use of 70% dark chocolate really helps me to like this mixture, though I still prefer chocolate vanilla crème.
This is my entry for Hay Hay It's Donna Hay #11, themed Mousse, hosted by Helen of Tartellete.
Chocolate Mousse
Source: Donna Hay Magazine, Winter, Issue 28
4 eggs, separated,
2 Tbs caster (superfine) sugar,
200g (7oz) dark chocolate, chopped,
1 ¼ (10 fl oz) cups (single or pouring) cream
Place the eggwhites in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add ¼ cup (2 fl oz) of the cream and the egg yolks and whisk well to combine. Place the remaining cream in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Add the chocolate and eggwhite mixture and fold through to combine. Spoon the chocolate mixture into 1-cup (8 fl oz) capacity bowls and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until set. Serves 6.
Have a good weekend everyone!

A lovely entry Arfi. The sugar would have made it much sweeter than my version. Thanks for entering.

Love the way it oozes out of the bowl. Yummy!
Oh that picture is sinful. Look at that drizzling over the side. Yum.
I love the rustic, homemade look and feel of this mousse -- not what you'd normally expect from a rich and fussy mousse.
