Ingredients 350gr 85% chocolate finely chopped to the size of chocolate drops *see suggestions below 4 large eggs at room temperature 2t vanilla extract Pinch salt 250ml hot coffee *see suggestions below Method Place all the ingredients except the hot coffee into a blender. Blend until the mixture looks smooth. With the blender running at a low speed, pour the hot coffee in slowly through the opening in the top of the blender lid. Blend until the mixture is smooth and all the chocolate has melted. Check for taste and add some sweetener of choice if you want a sweeter taste. Pour into ramekins or glasses and place in the fridge to set for a firmer texture. Remove from the fridge prior to serving. Notes Use Lindt Intense Orange, Mint, Chilli or any other flavoured dark chocolate. Add 1T of your favourite liqueur. Try using different teas instead of the coffee – maybe Earl Grey, Orange Pekoe or Lemon & ginger with ginger chocolate.

does it not need cream!

Not that one. It's real easy. A true mousse in the French style only uses eggs, chocolate and sugar. The easy mousse above is a dense one, a bit more like a marquise. A lighter mousse can have cream in it.

It's off our website Buzzy. The chocolate melts as soon as the hot coffee hits it.

I've just put this on the egg white thread:
LIGHT MOUSSE
100g chocolate 4 egg whites 50g sugar pinch salt
Melt chocolate and cool. Beat the other ingredients to the stiff peak stage and fold in the chocolate gradually. Chill (in separate glasses). Serves 6.
