Baked dark chocolate mousse with cherries
French 15 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Grease and line 2 small ramekins and preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a large glass or metal bowl over a pot of gently simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the separated egg yolks and sugar until very light, pale and thick.
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peak stage.
- Fold the egg yolk mixture into the melted chocolate and then gently fold in the egg whites and sifted flour in 3 batches until completely combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until just set but still gooey (trust the timings and resist the urge to keep baking).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving with a scoop of raspberry sorbet.
