Dark Chocolate Mousse

Directions

1. 1
   Break the chocolate into small pieces. Add the butter and put into a heatproof bowl over a simmering pot of water. Allow to gently melt, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
2. 2
   Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and whisk into soft peaks.
3. 3
   Gently break up the yolks in a separate bowl with a fork and stir into the cooled chocolate mixture. It should become very thick.
4. 4
   In three separate batches, fold in the egg whites gently until completely combined. Spoon into small ramekins and refrigerate for at least an hour to set.
5. 5
   TO SERVE: Take mousse out of the fridge a few minutes before serving, so they are not so cold. Serve with vanilla ice cream and strawberries and sauce for a fancy and easy treat!
