Ingredients
- 75 g/ ½ cup Dark chocolate
- 2 Eggs (large, free-range)
- 30 g/ 1 oz Caster sugar
- ½ teaspoon Coffee extract I used Nielson Massey
- 2 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur
Instructions
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces and put in a heat-proof bowl
- Melt - either using a bain-marie (double boiler) or in short bursts in the microwave
- Meanwhile separate the eggs
- Whisk the whites until foamy, then add the sugar, bit by bit, whisking until the whites are firm and glossy
- When the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat and quickly beat in the egg yolks (I used a mini balloon whisk
- Beat in the coffee extract and Baileys
- Take ¼ of the whipped egg whites and beat into the chocolate mixture, then fold the rest of the whites very gently into the chocolate mixture. A large metal spoon is ideal for this. Take care not to overmix and deflate the mousse, but likewise, keep on folding until no streaks of white or chocolate remain
- Pour into 4 glasses or ramekins, cover with cling film and transfer to the fridge to set
- Bring to room temperature before serving and, if desired, add a little fresh cream and chocolate shavings
