Total time: 200 minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
3 Satsumas
50 g Dark chocolate 70%
50 g Milk chocolate
3 Organic eggs
¼ tsp Salt
Recipe:
- Prepare the satsumas: Zest, peel and segment the satsumas. Compost the white bitter membrane.
- Make the chocolate mixture: Break the chocolate into a saucepan, and add 3 tablespoons of water. Melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring with a spatula, until nice and smooth. Turn off the heat, separate the eggs, and add the yolks, one at a time, into the chocolate. Stir to combine. Add the satsuma zest to the chocolate mixture.
- Whisk the egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and salt to a stiff peak. With a spatula, fold about a ¼ of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten and loosen it. Then gently fold in the rest of the egg whites and stop mixing when just uniform.
- Immediately divide the mousse into upcycled jam jars (or use glasses), close with their lids and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. To serve; add the fresh satsuma segments on top.
