Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, yolks and whites separated
  • 90 g dark chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder or coconut flakes to serve

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with three tablespoons of water.
  • Beat lightly the egg yolks, then pour in the melted chocolate: whisk quickly until smooth.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff: stir in a tablespoon of whipped egg whites into the chocolate to soften it, then fold the rest of the egg whites until perfectly blended.
  • Spoon the mousse into 4 coffee cups and stack them away in the fridge for a few hours.
  • Just before serving sprinkle the mousse with the cocoa powder or some coconut flakes.
