Light, airy dark chocolate mousse with a silky, glossy finish. Surprisingly simple. Chill for 2 hours before serving.

Ingredients

• 100 g Dark chocolate
• Eggs × 2
• 100 ml Cream
• 2 tbsp Sugar

Method

1. Melt the chocolate

   

   Melt the chocolate gently — in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between each, or in a heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water — and let it cool slightly.

2. Separate the egg

   

   Separate the egg: crack it and pass the yolk between the shell halves, letting the white fall into a clean bowl.

3. Whisk the egg white

   

   Whisk the egg white with the sugar to soft peaks — the tip should flop over when you lift the whisk.

4. Separately whip the cream

   

   Separately whip the cream until it just holds its shape.

5. Stir the yolk

   

   Stir the yolk into the chocolate.

6. Fold and chill

   

   Fold the cream and then the egg white into the chocolate — cut down through the middle with a spatula and turn the mixture gently over itself — until smooth with no white streaks. Spoon into ramekins and chill 2 hours.
