This took an unexpected turn and made my day!

MrsCatz

4 eggs (not 2 as I thought) and 2-3 oz Bourneville (or chocolate of choice)

Separate eggs then beat the whites until stiff. Melt chocolate in a basin over hot water, add a teaspoon of boiling water to help soften if it becomes too sticky. When chocolate is melted take off heat and stir in yolks. Pour carefully into egg whites and mix/ whisk for a minute, pop in ramekins and chill. I suggest overnight for best results.

I like the simplisity of MrsCatz "mouse" recipe.

Here's mine just for fun......it's labelled a triple chocolate terrine but can be made as a simple mousse instead.

500 ml of heavy cream suitable for whipping
200 g each of dark, milk & white chocolate

Heat the cream to almost simmering and put half in one bowl and divide the remaining between 2 bowls.

Put all the dark chocolate into the bowl with the most cream and the milk and white choc each into the other 2 bowls.  Stir them all til the chocolate melts.  Then cool.  (so you have 3 bowls - 1 dark choc, 1 milk & 1 white)

Whip each and then put the milk choc cream into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap.  Top with the white choc and then the dark so you have 3 layers of chocolate.  Pop in the fridge for up to 4 days (LOL! as if!!!)  When ready to serve invert the pan onto a plate and peel off the wrap.  Slice to serve.  Viola!  (as they say)

Variations - can be spooned into parfait glasses or champagne flutes.  Or you can do less - 250 ml of cream with 400 g of milk chocolate works nicely.

@Brie - a long time ago, the Corse Lawn Inn used to make what they called a three-chocolate mousse. Sounds like what you make. It was so good.

And the wonderful thing is that as chocolate is a fruit and there's 3 types of chocolate in it that counts as 3 of your recommended 5 a day!  Oh and as there's no added sugar there's no calories in it whatsoever!!!!!  (& this is how I manage to keep my oh so boyish figure.......(not))
