Mousse au Chocolat Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5 egg yolks
• 30 g icing sugar
• 3 cl rum
• 1 cup short black (or instant coffee in a little warm water)
• 200 g dark chocolate
• 125 g whipped cream
• 5 egg white
• 30 g sugar

Method:

• melt chopped chocolate
• cream icing sugar and eggs over hot water bath
• cool both slightly down
• add rum and coffee
• add melted chocolate
• add whipped egg white with sugar (soft peak)
  
• add whipped cream

Do the last two steps quickly using a spatula rather than a whisk (so as not to destroy the air bubbles in the egg white).
Fill into portion bowls (makes app. 6 portions) or in a big glass bowl, and refrigerate.
Garnish with whipped cream and grated chocolate (or hail) just before serving.

I recommend to use the dark chocolate from the Fair Trade shops, divine :-)
