For the dark chocolate mousse
115g 70% dark chocolate
30ml of double cream
1/2 tsp of pink peppercorns
3 large egg whites
3 Tbsp de caster sugar
pinch of salt
For the white chocolate mousse:
115g white chocolate
30ml of double cream
50g of fresh raspberries
1 Tbsp of caster sugar
3 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
Start by chopping up the dark chocolate coarsely and placing it in a pyrex bowl. Melt over a pot of simmering water, but don't let the water touch the bowl.
Heat the cream over a low flame, and pour it into the chocolate one third at the time, stirring quickly with a rubber spatula. Mix in the pink pepper and allow it all to cool down for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When they start to form soft peaks, add the sugar gradually, whilst continuing to beat.
Fold the egg whites carefully into the chocolate, making sure you don't deflate them.
Divide the mousse between glasses or bowls and set it in the fridge.
Repeat the same process for the white chocolate (but add the raspberries instead of the pink pepper) and scoop it on top of the dark chocolate mousse. Chill for a few hours or overnight.
Before serving decorate with shaved dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder and a sprinkle of pink pepper.
