Decadent dark chocolate mousse elevated with extra virgin olive oil and a hint of liqueur for a luxurious, creamy indulgence.
Ingredients:
  • 150g good-quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 125ml olive oil
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 20.00 ml Frangelico liqueur (optional)
  • 40.00 ml chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • Whipped cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Gradually mix in the olive oil once the chocolate is melted.
  • Take it off the heat.
  • In an electric mixer bowl, beat egg yolks and half of the sugar until pale and thick. Mix in the chocolate mixture and Frangelico (if using) until well combined.
  • Whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, gradually adding the remaining sugar. Gently fold the fluffy egg whites into the chocolate mixture using a large metal spoon or spatula.
  • Transfer the mixture into individual bowls or cups and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with hazelnuts and a dollop of cream before serving.
