Ingredients: 2 ounces good-quality dark cooking chocolate (see note below), broken into pieces 1/4 cup (1/2 stick/2 oz,/56g) unsalted butter, chopped 2 teaspoons orange liqueur 2 eggs, separated Pinch of salt 1 tablespoon superfine baker's sugar or caster sugar Cocoa powder, to serve |
Instructions: 1. Lightly grease two 3/4-cup capacity ramekins or molds. Line base and sides with a piece of plastic wrap. Allow plenty of overhang. 2. Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM (50%) for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, or until melted and smooth. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. 3. Add liqueur and egg yolks to chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined. 4. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat well. Stir a third of egg whites into chocolate mixture. Gently fold remaining egg whites into chocolate mixture. Spoon into prepared ramekins. Fold over excess plastic wrap to cover. Freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight, if time permits, until firm. 5. Using the plastic wrap, gently ease mousse from ramekins. Turn out onto chilled serving plates. Dust with cocoa and serve. Note: For best results, use 70%-cocoa chocolate. Makes 2 servings. |
