Trivia Do never show this recipe to anyone who counts calories! Very good for parties. Take good, not the cheapest chocolate and do not take British chocolate! (— not my [Ron's] observation, but perhaps I agree...)

Ingredients (serves 8-12)

Preparation

  1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks with the icing sugar until you get a light yellow foam.
  2. Melt the chocolate and add it to the egg foam (terrible procedure).
  3. Beat egg whites until you get a stable substance (i.e., if you cut it with a knife, the cut should not vanish) and add it to the chocolate-egg-mixture. Be careful not to destroy the mixture by stirring it too hard.
  4. Carefully add the whipped cream and put the mousse in the fridge (3-12 hours).
