Little Chocolate Mousses

From the High Tea menu...

Makes 8

Ingredients:
150g dark chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup thickened cream
2 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons caster sugar
coloured cachous, to serve

Method:
1. Place chocolate in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on medium (50%) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds with a metal spoon until melted and smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Wash and dry beaters. Beat eggwhites in a separate small bowl until soft peaks form. Sprinkle sugar over eggwhites. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture is thick and glossy and sugar has dissolved.
3. Add egg yolks to chocolate. Using a metal spoon, stir to combine (see note). Stir one-third of eggwhite mixture into chocolate mixture until well combined. Fold in remaining eggwhite mixture. Fold in cream.
4. Spoon mixture into a large snap-lock bag. Snip a 1cm triangle from 1 corner of the bag. Pipe mixture into eight 70ml-capacity shot glasses. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until firm. Decorate with cachous. Serve.

Notes:
Mixture may seize and appear thick and grainy, but continue stirring.
