Recipe - Quenelles Of Chocolate Mousse

Melt chocolate slowly in a Bain marie then off the heat but in a warm spot
beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Whisk in butter in small amounts until
smooth and glossy. Whisk whites to soft medium peaks and mount with sugar.
Fold into chocolate mix making sure no whites or lumps are visible . Make
sure that the whites don't cool the mix down so fast that the chocolate
goes solid on you. Place in shallow dish cover and cool in the fridge.

colours on to the serving plate return to fridge till service. Just prior
