Method
- Break the chocolate into small pieces, then melt with a tiny pinch of sea salt in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (don’t let it touch the bowl), stirring occasionally.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing them in separate bowls.
- Beat the sugar and egg yolks until smooth. Whisk the whites with a tiny pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- In a third bowl, beat the cream to soft peaks.
- Mix the cocoa into the egg yolks, then fold in the whipped cream. Fold through the melted chocolate until everything is combined.
- Tip in the egg whites and fold until the mix is smooth and evenly coloured.
- Spoon into a large serving bowl or divide between glasses. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to set.
- Just before serving, gently warm the compote and brandy in a small pan, stirring, then spoon over the mousse and serve.
