Mmm! Who isn't into chocolate mousse?
Well my daughter isn't surprisingly but that's just good news as now there's more for me!
It's been years since I have made this or eaten it.
Too long!

Too long!
Here's a dessert which is simple to prepare and worth the effort.
You probably already have everything you need in your fridge and pantry.
This doesn't make a huge batch so if you intend it to be for more than 2-3 people (or 3-4 smaller serves), I would double the quantities.
Having said that it is very rich and you should really only serve yourself a small portion anyway!
You will need:
75-100 grams of good quality cooking chocolate (I used Cadbury in this recipe).
3 eggs (separated).
125ml of pure or double cream
Optional: rum, brandy (the alcohol) or peppermint essence to flavour the mousse as you wish. (I didn't use it but it's a nice twist).
Break the chocolate into small pieces in a medium sized bowl and melt it gently over a pot of hot water or microwave according to packet directions. Take care if doing the latter as chocolate melted in the microwave can become a ruined, hard lump if it is not watched closely.
(I microwaved mine on 50% power for 2 minutes before stirring and returning for another 1 minute on 70% - perfect).

Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the 3 egg yolks.
Whip the cream until stiff and fold into the chocolate mixture. (Add a dash of alcohol at this stage if desired).
Lastly, whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold this into the chocolate mixture well.
