Step by Step Method

Step 1

Melt chocolate by placing it in a double boiler or by placing it in a heatproof bowl above a saucepan of boiling water or by microwaving the chocolate. Let it cool for a few minutes and then stir in the olive oil, cocoa powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Step 2

In a bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they are pale and doubled in volume.

Step 3

In another bowl whisk together the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you have stiff peaks (I will use an electric mixer for this).

Step 4

Pour the chocolate mixture into the beaten yolks and then gently fold to combine. Stir in orange juice and then fold again.

Step 5

Spoon in the egg whites , one third at a time and keep folding the mousses together until there are no streaks.

Step 6

Spoon mousse into 6 ramekins and refrigerate for at least one hour . Bring ramekins to room temp before serving.

Step 7

To serve: drizzle some olive oil, orange zest and sea salt flakes over the ramakins, if desired.
