In the past, I've normally made a pavlova alongside the tiramisu, to use up the egg whites. But I don't actually like meringue all that much. So this time around, I thought I'd try something a bit different. I found a recipe for an easy chocolate mousse that looked, well, really easy.
Easy Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 150g Dark chocolate
- 6 Egg whites
- 2tbsp Caster sugar
Method
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave.
- Whisk the egg whites with the sugar until it forms stiff peaks.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate.
- Pour into ramekins and refrigerate to set.
Simple, no? Still not quite simple enough for me not to make a bit of a hash of it - I lost a heck of a lot of air in the folding, and I think my chocolate was too cool to begin with and started to set immediately, so I've got flecks throughout. It doesn't look stellar, but it was ridiculously simple.
