Chocolate-Orange Mousse - cooking recipe

Ingredients

100 g dark chocolate
5 egg whites
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon sugar-free orange gelatin (low-joule orange jelly crystals)

Preparation

Melt the dark chocolate in a large bowl over hot water.
Dissolve the jelly crystals in 250 mls of boiling water and put aside.
Meanwhile, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until firm peaks form.
While still over heat, using a whisk combine the dark chocolate, the egg yolks, the sugar (if using) and the jelly mixture. Remove from heat. Don't panic if it goes lumpy, this is normal and it will become smooth.
Once the mixture is smooth and it has cooled slightly fold the egg whites in and mix until completely even in colour.
Pour into dishes and cool.
