Ingredients

2 tbsp cream
200g dark cooking chocolate, cut into pieces
4 egg yolks
A pinch of cream of tartar
6 egg whites
1 tbsp caster sugar
1½ cups whipped cream
500g raspberries

Preparation

Place the cream and chocolate pieces in a bowl resting over a bain-marie over medium heat and whisk until the chocolate has melted and is smooth. Remove the bowl from the bain-marie and stir in the egg yolks.

Add a pinch of cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat until fairly firm. Add the sugar and continue beating the whites into stiff peaks.

Using a whisk, gently incorporate a quarter of the beaten whites into the chocolate preparation, then carefully fold in the rest of the whites.

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag and pipe it into the glasses. Cover with plastic film and place in the refrigerator to set for half a day.

Before serving, pipe a little whipped cream on top of each mousse and garnish with a few raspberries.

Sensational!
An amazing dessert, easy to make and loved by all. Take out of fridge 30 minutes before serving to get back to the airy consistency that makes it so good
