Gelatine is made from animal collagen, but if you’re a vegetarian
or vegan, you can still make delicious desserts using
alternatives such as Agar, Carrageen or vegetable gums.

Ingredients

1 tbsp Raspberry Liqueur
1 tbsp Milk
3/4 tsp Gelatine
85g Baking Chocolate (roughly chopped)
4 Eggs (separated)
4 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
pinch of Salt

How to make it

  • Begin by whisking together the liqueur, milk and gelatine in a small bowl before leaving to set.
  • Meanwhile, create a bain-marie by placing a glass bowl atop a saucepan half filled with boiling water. Place the chocolate in the glass bowl and gently whisk until it has completely melted and there are no lumps.
  • Put the chocolate to one side and place another glass bowl atop the saucepan. In the bowl, combine the egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and then add the gelatine mixture and melted chocolate. Continue to whisk until the gelatine dissolves before removing from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Once the eggs have reached this consistency, fold them into the chocolate mixture and then divide between 8 ramekins. Refrigerate the chocolate mousses for at least 2 hours before serving and garnish with fresh raspberries or whipped cream.
