Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 100g 90% chocolate, broken into pieces
- 1 tbsp butter
- ½ orange, zested, finest grating setting
- 25ml fresh orange juice
- 25ml Grand Marnier or extra orange juice
- 3 eggs, separated into yolks and whites
Method
Step 1
Add the chocolate, butter, Grand Marnier, orange zest, and orange juice to a medium-sized glass bowl. If you aren’t using Grand Marnier, add 50ml of orange juice in total. If you prefer a plain mousse, add 25ml boiling water instead of orange juice or Grand Marnier.
Step 2
Heat the glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. Don’t let the bowl get too hot (take it off the heat occasionally).
Step 3
When fully melted, give the mixture a final stir and put it on the side to cool down for 5-10 minutes
Step 4
Once the melted chocolate mixture has cooled to a ‘warm’ temperature, stir in the 3 egg yolks.
Step 5
Whisk the 3 egg whites using an electric whisk until soft peaks form.
Step 6
Using a large tablespoon, start to gently fold the whisked egg whites into the chocolate mixture, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into 4 ramekins or small bowls, cover with clingfilm, and place into the fridge. Serve with single or double cream, with optional berries of your choice.
