Mmmmm we got LOVE in our tummies....

Easy chocolate mousse

Serves 6

250g good quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

30g butter

120ml water

3 egg yolks

25g sugar

300ml whipped cream

1.    Melt the chocolate, butter and half of the water over a pan of simmering water, taking care that the bowl does not touch the water. Once fully melted and well combined, leave to cool for 10 minutes.

2.    In a small saucepan, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and remaining water. Stir over a low heat for approximately 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate mixture.

3.    You will need to cool the mixture quickly, so place the saucepan in a bowl of ice water and stir the mixture until cooled, about 5-10 minutes. Gently fold in the whipped cream and then spoon into your serving dishes. 

4. Leave to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.
