Chocolate Mousse






With only 6 tarts filled and many more mouths to feed, I decided to make lactose friendly chocolate Mousse. It's not the first time we've made it, so it's a tried and tested favourite.
1) Break up 125g dark chocolate (make sure there are no milk solids in the ingredients) and melt in a heat proof bowl over a simmering saucepan of water. Stir it occasionally so it doesn't thicken on the bottom of the bowl.
2) Separate 4 eggs. Beat the egg whites slowly adding 4 teaspoons of caster sugar until it forms white peaks.
3) Once the chocolate has melted, mix the yolks in quickly. Whisk two thirds of the egg whites in. Once combined, gently fold in the rest of the egg whites.
4) Pour into 6 ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Delicious, dairy free chocolate mousse. I might be having seconds.
