The perfect light and fluffy dreamy chocolate mousse!

Ingredients

 

2 tsp powdered gelatin

1/2 cup boiling water

2 tbsp raw cacao powder

60g honey

4 eggs, brought to room temperature

1/2 tsp lemon juice

A punnet of berries of your choice

​

Optional extra

4 tbsp coconut yoghurt (to have on the side)

​

Method

​​

  • Place gelatin in a small bowl and add boiling water.  Whisk with a fork until dissolved.
     

  • Add raw cacao powder to the gelatin mix and whisk again until mixed thoroughly.  Leave this mixture on the bench to reach room temperature.  You can also put in the freezer r fridge to make this process faster.

​

  • Separate the eggs, set the yolks aside whilst placing the whites and lemon juice into a large mixing bowl (or food processor with a whisk) and beat until they reach stiff peaks.
     

  • Measure out the honey.  Continue beating the whites whilst slowly drizzling in the honey.  Then add egg yolks one at a time and continue to mix until combined.

​

  • Add the room temperature cacao and gelatin mixture into the egg mixture in a thin stream and mix until combined.  It is important that this is at room temperature so it does not cook the eggs!

​

  • Pour into 6 small ramekins or one big bowl and refrigerate for 4 hours.

​

  • Serve with berries of your choice and a dollop of coconut yoghurt as an optional extra.
