Chocolate mousse

Instructions

1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
2. Melt the chocolate together with the butter in a bain-marie.
3. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff.
4. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the icing sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Mix the melted chocolate into the egg yolks, stirring continuously.
6. Add a third of the egg white mixture and beat to a basic mixture.
7. Fold in the remaining egg white. Pour the mixture into a piping bag.
8. Pour the mixture into ceramic moulds or, optionally, glasses and leave to set in the fridge for at least 8 hours. It is best to place cling film over the moulds to prevent a skin from forming.
9. Optional: grate some chocolate over the finished mousse.
