Vanilla & Olive Oil Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

200g dark chocolate, finely chopped
3 large eggs, separated
40g caster sugar
200ml double cream
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Vanilla Mart Extract
Flaked sea salt, to finish
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Method:

• Melt the dark chocolate gently over a heatproof bowl set over simmering water.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the olive oil and Vanilla Mart Extract.
• Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture.
• In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until softly thickened.
• Whisk the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the caster sugar and continue whisking until glossy and stiff.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
• Fold in the egg whites in two additions, taking care not to knock out too much air.
• Spoon into individual serving glasses and chill for at least 3 hours.
• Finish with a few drops of olive oil and a pinch of flaked sea salt before serving.
