Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 100g cup granulated sugar (use about 65g for a less sweet version)
  • 75g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), adjusted for desired thickness
  • 3 ½ tsp unsalted butter
  • 125 ml double cream
  • 1 284g jar St. Dalfour Raspberry Fruit Spread

Instructions

  1. Heat the double cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Add the butter and stir until fully melted. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the egg yolks. Return to medium heat and cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches at least 75°C. Remove from heat, add the chocolate, and stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a heatproof metal bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar. Place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bowl. Stir continuously for 4 to 6 minutes, until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture feels warm to the touch.
  3. Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an electric mixer, beat for up to 10 minutes, until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped egg whites in three additions, folding carefully to keep the mousse light and airy.
  5. Spoon the mousse into one large serving bowl or individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 to 5 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
