I stole this recipe from Nigella Lawson. I just happened to be flicking channels on TV one day and there she was, looking all nice and summery, out at the seaside (albeit a horribly English looking seaside), cooking up all sorts of tasty little treats.
This one appealed to me because i had previously made a chocolate mousse that went completely wrong… So i thought it about time to make amends for it.
Ingredients and Basic directions from Nigella:
Ingredients::
* 300g white chocolate
* 6 eggs, separated
* 10 passionfruit
* 300g – 500g raspberries
Instructions:
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt in the microwave for about 3 minutes, or in a bowl over a pan of simmering water then set the bowl aside, and let the chocolate cool a little.
Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Mix the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate, though be gentle to ensure it doesn?t seize. Cut the passionfruit in half and scoop them, juice, pulp, seeds, into the yolk and chocolate mixture, then fold into the egg whites until completely incorporated.
Then just pop them in the freezer or fridge for a while and serve with some more fresh berries on top.
I took this dish down to T’Anne’s place for dinner last night, and despite the fact that everyone was completely stuffed, they went down a treat.
It’s with much regret that i didnt take a photo, but trust me when i saw they looked great too :)
