Easy Chocolate Mousse


Base:
130 g Jacob’s Sunlife Chocolate biscuits, coarsely crushed30 g melted margarine

Mousse:
200 g dark chocolate
20 g margarine
60 ml plain low fat yoghurt
1 egg white
20 g sugar

Method:
Combine crushed Jacob’s Sunlife biscuits and melted butter in a small bowl and spoon into 6 small wine glasses or glass tumblers, pressing them in lightly.

Locate a small heatproof bowl that will fit over the top of a small saucepan (creating a “double boiler”). Place chocolate and butter in the small bowl and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Remove bowl from heat and stir in yoghurt. Whisk egg white until soft peaks form and add sugar. Whisk for another 2 – 3 minutes until glossy.

Fold half the beaten egg white into the chocolate mixture but avoid over-stirring. Fold in the remaining egg white and spoon into the crumb lined glasses.

Chill for 1 – 2 hours before serving.
