Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
200 g Dark Chocolate
4 Eggs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp vanilla extract with seeds
3 tbsp Water
½ cup of Whipped Cream
Method:
Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl together with the water. Place the bowl over a pan of boiling water.
When chocolate starts to melt add the olive oil and the vanilla extract.
When melted whisk the chocolate into a smooth paste. Whilst still on the heat add the egg yolks one at a time whisking briskly.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
Whisk the cream until firm and refrigerate.
When the chocolate mixture is a bit cooler fold in the cream using a whisk.
Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture with a metal spoon.
Pour the mixture into one large serving dish or individual ramekins.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
