"I love this chocolate mousse because it's so easy to make and instantly satisfies any sweet cravings. It's a crowd pleaser, and can be made even the day before so is perfect for having friends over for dinner. But I've also eaten it straight from the bowl before it's properly set, and it's equally delicious."

When the chocolate has melted, take off the pan of water and vigorously whisk in the egg yolks. Then, add a spoon of the whisked egg whites and whisk vigorously.
