Chocolate mousse

The fluffiest of desserts, this 80s dinner party classic is surely ready for a revival. Scrunchies are back, so this definitely deserves another chance. This was the first recipe I ever made on my own and I was so proud of it! Serve with cream and fresh raspberries. Makes 6

  • 6 eggs
  • 180g dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  1. Melt the chocolate and cool slightly
  2. Separate the eggs
  3. In a scrupulously clean bowl, whisk the whites into soft peaks. Then add the sugar a tsp at a time, whisking all the while, until stiff and glossy
  4. Beat the yolks into the melted chocolate until smooth
  5. Whisk in a third of the egg white to the chocolate mixture to loosen it up, then carefully fold in the rest
  6. For full retro points, spoon gently into individual glasses and chill to set
