Delicious, decadent...and you can add the grated rind of one orange to make a Jaffa Mousse.

Ingredients

  • 250 grams dark chocolate
  • ¼ cup Baileys or other cream-style liqueur
  • ¼ cup cream
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup cream, whipped

Method

  1. Place chocolate, Baileys and first measure cream in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of hot water.
  2. Melt the chocolate over a low heat, leave to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Add egg yolks to the chocolate mixture, beating well.

  4. Pour into glasses and chill to set.
  5. Garnish with chocolate curls.

Cooks Tips

For a rich tasting chocolate, look for one that has over 60% cocoa solids, like Richfiled’s or Cadbury’s Energy chocolate. Use white chocolate in place of dark as a variation.
