Ingredients

7 oz dark chocolate, broken into pieces
3 1/2 oz white chocolate, broken into pieces
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 None medium egg whites
None None Cocoa powder, to dust

Preparation

Place the dark and white chocolate in separate bowls. Set over pans of simmering water. Stir until melted; remove from heat. Heat the sugar with 6 tbsp water to dissolve. Stir two-thirds into the melted dark chocolate. Stir the remainder into the melted white chocolate. Cool to room temperature.
Whip the cream to soft peaks. In a separate clean bowl, with clean beaters, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Fold two-thirds of the cream and egg whites into the dark chocolate mixture. Fold the remaining cream and egg whites into the white chocolate mixture.
Divide half the dark chocolate mousse between 6 individual dishes. Add a layer of the white chocolate mousse on top, then finish with the remaining dark chocolate mousse. Chill for 2 hours until set. Dust the tops with a little cocoa powder. Serve decorated with white chocolate curls and mint leaves.
