Anne's Chocolate Mousse

Here's my mum's recipe for mousse. To be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet :-P

340g dark chocolate (I think Club Chocolate is best)
14g butter
1 tbs brandy (or Cointreau or Orange Juice)
4 large eggs

- Combine chocolate and 4 tbs of water. Melt chocolate using double boiler method.
- Turn off heat and stir continuously for 5 minutes.
- Take bowl of chocolate off saucepan. Add butter and brandy.
- Whisk egg whites until stiff.
- Beat egg yolks into slightly cooled chocolate mix.
- Fold in whites.
- Put in fridge for an hour.

I like to serve this with cream and berries on top.
