Chocolate mousse with a citrus kick

Love chocolate and drinking? - Chocoholic hangover cure

I created this recipe after an infamous night out, far to many drinks were consumed and I had a really bad head the next day. When I woke in the morning I went straight to the kitchen luckily I had some chocolate left in the fridge and thus this recipe was born! The funny thing is it really works.

Ingredients to serve six

350g of high cocoa content chocolate - Lindt 99% excellence chocolate bar 100g of good quality butter - chopped into small pieces 500ml of double cream 3 large eggs 6 tablespoons of Blue Curacao - Bright blue liqueur with a strong citrus orange flavor 6 tablespoons of honey

Although this recipe has a small quantity of ingredients, I have found the best results come from making it in three steps

First step

Put the chocolate and butter into a bowl over simmering water, slowly melt the two together then remove from the heat and leave to stand

Second step

Whip the cream gently in a separate bowl, you do not want to fully whip this cream the ideal is nice and soft, not to stiff

Third step

Whisk the eggs and honey together in a third large bowl until fluffy. Then gently add the blue caracao, chocolate mix and cream. Pour this into six glasses and pop in the fridge for about an hour. You can now serve this delicious mousse...enjoy
