smaller than those in the UK
so you may want to adjust this
UK measurement!

of whisky, add a bit more cream
too!
Finely grated rind of one orange.

| method: |
Place the broken chocolate, whisky
and cream in a heatproof bowl
and sit in a pan of simmering
hot water, stirring until melted.
Important - don't allow the mixture
to boil. Remove from the heat
and allow to cool but remain melted.
Whisk the egg whites until they
are stiff. Beat the yolks with
the finely grated orange rind.
Stir the egg yolk mixture into
the cooled chocolate cream. Then
fold in the whisked egg whites.
Spoon the mixture into six individual
dishes/glasses and chill in the
fridge for at least three hours.
Just before serving, whip the
cream for the topping with the
whisky and sugar. Decorate the
mousse with the cream and the
orange rind. |
