Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse
Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate (broken into pieces, or dark chocolate drops)
- 75 g caster sugar
- 2-3 tbsp brandy
- 2 eggs
- 250 g mascarpone
Method
- Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water and allow to melt, then remove from the heat.
- Add the sugar, brandy
and eggs and, using a hand-held electric beater, whisk for 5 minutes or
until the outside of the bowl has cooled down to tepid.
- Whisk in the
mascarpone for a few seconds, just until combined. (The mousse will
thicken once the mascarpone has been mixed in.) Divide between the
glasses, cups or bowls and serve straightaway or chill to use later.
