way too many eggs for the amount of chocolate. I'd use three eggs for 150 grams of chocolate - and I'd add a touch of sugar and whipped cream to the mixture.

Yesterda after watching this video i felt so greedy that i made the mousse today itself.but i followed a different recipe n it was excellent..here is the recipe..Ingredients • 120g dark chocolate, finely chopped • 120ml double cream • 2 tbsp rum, brandy, or Grand Marnier (or simply use or 1 tsp grated orange rind) • 2 Eggs Method 1. Chop the chocolate finely. Bring the cream up to the boil, turn off the heat, and add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and then add the alcohol. 2. Leave the mixture to cool a little, and then beat in the egg yolks. 3. Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Stir one quarter of the whisked egg whites into the chocolate mixture to loosen the mixture, and then carefully fold in the rest taking care not to knock all the air out. 4. Spoon into little dessert bowls, glasses, glasses or espresso cups. Refrigerate for an hour or two in the fridge, until set. 5. Serve with coconut or almond macaroons, or amaretti biscuits. ...try it out for whomever it wants.its Rachel Allen's recipe.

Always ends up runny even after refridgeration. Never has the consistency that it does in the video. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?
