Cherry Chocolate Mousse
This mousse has a dash of cherry liqueur but you can leave it out if you don't like alcohol. This is one of the best mousses I've tried.

- 220g dark chocolate, chopped
- 7 eggs, separated, egg yolks beaten

- Melt chocolate in a double boiler (or in a bowl over a pot of simmering water) until mostly melted. Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip cream till medium stiff peaks form but do not allow it to become grainy. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue whipping to medium stiff peaks. Fold in the beaten egg yolks and kirshwasser.
- Fold in the melted chocolate until completely incorporated, then fold in whipped cream and blend evenly. Spoon into dessert cups and chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Great recipe and have made this twice now. It helped to slowly pour the chocolate in to the yolks/whites while whipping with a wooden spoon. The second time I added the rind from a medium orange and half a cup of OJ to the egg yolks. I also added 30ml Cointreau. To make up for the added liquid I increased chocolate to 350g and increased cream to 400 ml. Awesome orange chocolate mousse - 14 Nov 2009
