Step 1:

-
Step 2:
-
Preheat oven
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC or gas mark 4.
-
Step 3:
-
Prepare the crust
-
Gently place the short crust dough over the pie mould and start to push it down.
-
Work your way from the bottom, pushing the dough down around the sides of the mould and up to the top.
-
Remove any dough that hangs over the sides to finish.
-
Then take a fork and stab lightly to score the dough on the bottom of the mould. This will stop it from rising.
-
Step 4:
-
Bake the crust
-
Put a sheet of greaseproof paper over the dough and pour the beans on top as an extra precaution to stop it from rising.
-
Place the pie mould in the centre of the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
-
Step 5:
-
Remove from the oven
-
When the crust has turned light brown, remove it from the oven and let it cool down.
-
Step 6:
-
Melt the chocolate and butter
-
Prepare a saucepan of gently simmering water and place a bowl on top.
-
Add the chocolate, butter and water and leave it to melt.
-
Stir every once in a while with a rubber spatula to combine the ingredients together.
-
When well melted, turn the heat off and take the bowl off the saucepan.
-
A quick tip - don't overheat the chocolate and butter as they will break and won't combine well.
-
Finally, pour in the egg yolks and stir them in.
-
Step 7:
-
Whip the egg white
-
Another quick tip before we start - it's very important that the utensils you use are very clean as even the smallest amount of grease or residue will stop the whites from whipping well.
-
Pour the egg whites into the mixing bowl and begin to whip them on a medium to high speed.
-
As soon as they start to become fluffy, gradually add the sugar.
-
When it starts to stiffen and thicken, turn the mixer off. To test the right consistency, gather up a little of the whipped whites on the mixing hook. If they stay then they're ready, if they fall off, whip for a little longer.
-
Step 8:
-
Combine the egg whites and chocolate
-
Spoon some of the whipped egg whites into the melted chocolate and gently mix them together.
-
Then add what is remaining and fold, scraping the bottom of the bowl to make sure it's all thoroughly combined.
-
Step 9:
-
Chill
-
Take the baked crust out of the mould then pour in the mousse and even it out.
-
Put the cake in the fridge to chill for 3 hours.
-
Step 10:
-
Serve the cake
-
Remove the cake from the fridge.
-
Then grate the white chocolate over the top.
-
and it's now ready to serve! It's delicious alone but even better with raspberries! Just scatter a few on top, dust with icing sugar and dig in.
