Chocolate Mousse

I made this for the kids during our vacation in the Philippines. The verdict - they loved it!

What you need:
4 eggs, separated
1/3 cup caster sugar
125 grams chocolate (dark, milk or white), finely chopped
1 pack Nestle All purpose cream or 300ml double cream
grated chocolate (optional for decoration)
whipped cream (optional for decoration)

How to do it:
1. Beat the egg yolks and sugar together with electric beater until thick and fluffy.
2. On a double saucepan, melt the chocolate over simmering water then let cool slightly.
3. Whisk the chocolate into the egg yolk mixture.
4. Whip the cream until it stands in soft peaks, then fold into the chocolate mixture.
5. Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Fold 1 tablespoon into the mousse, then fold in the remainder.
6. Pour the mousse mixture into small dishes and chill.

To decorate:
1. Decorate with piped whipped cream and grated chocolate on top.

*These mousses, without the cream and chocolate decorations, can be frozen for up to 3 months. Cover them in clingfilm, then wrap in polythene bags.
