Chocolate, orange & olive oil mousse

How to Make

• 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.
