Ingredients

• Ingredients: (recipe for 3 in parens)
• 11 oz. chocolate, I like 70% cacao (1 bar)
• 9 egg yolks (3)
• 1/2 c. sugar (2.5TBS))
• 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil (2.5TBS)
• 2 tbsp brandy, I use amaretto (I use scant 1TBS)
• salt
• 9 egg whites (3)
• 1/4 c. sugar (1.75 TBS)

Directions

1. Finely chop the chocolate, and then melt over simmering water in a double boiler.

2. While the chocolate is melting, whisk together the yolks and ½ cup sugar until the mixture is thick in texture and a pale, lemony yellow.

3. Gently fold the warm (not hot) chocolate into the yolks.

4. Stir in the brandy, olive oil and a pinch of salt.

5. In another bowl, whisk the whites until they are frothy and then whisk in the sugar. Keep whisking until they are at medium peaks. Fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate, 1/2 at a time.

6. Pour into glasses and allow mousse to set for at least four hours before serving.
