Default The best way to overcome temptation is to yield to it. ~ Oscar Wilde


A chocolate mousse that will take you back to the French childhood you never had...

Melt a bar of 70% bittersweet chocolate in a bain marie (or double boiler)
Let it cool a little while you…

Separate 6 eggs.

Mix together:
2 yolks
Orange zest
Splash of orange liqueur
Pour cooled chocolate (so it doesn’t cook the eggs) slowly into egg yolks (whisking quickly)

Whisk 4 whites into soft peaks, sprinkle in a Tbsp. Of sugar. Continue whisking.
(Set some meringue aside for topping mousse)
Fold in chocolate mixture.

Cover in plastic (so it doesn’t soak up other flavours) while it firms up in fridge

Top with meringue & garnish with orange zest & chocolate curls
