Dark Valhrona Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Raspberry

Merry Christmas everybody!  Merry Christmas!

How about something right out from left field?  A special sweet recipe instead of the usual savory ones.

If you are running out of ideas for that little Christmas pot-luck soiree your friends or family are organizing, look no further.  It’s sweet and a little salty - quite like having cheese slices on fruit bread.  Super rich, and amazingly gorgeous.

Ingredients:

100g Pur Caraibe chocolate
15 g butter
1 egg yolk
100g whipped cream
2 egg whites
20g sugar
4 raspberries
Icing sugar
Gold leaf

1) Melt the chocolate in a bain marie (or a shallow stainless steel pan)
2) Add the butter, whisk then add the yolks
3) Meanwhile, whip the egg white with sugar to soft peak stage (meringue)
4) Incorporate the meringue to the chocolate together with the whipped cream
5) Set in the fridge for one hour then pipe into the Tee Cup
6) Decorate with a fresh raspberry, some icing sugar and gold leaf.

Cheers!
