Ingredients :

- 100g bar 70% dark chocolate

- 2 eggs, separated

- 20g caster sugar

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- sea salt

- gold edible glitter, to decorate

Method : Melt the chocolate during a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the water doesn't touch the bowl. Remove the bowl from the pan; put aside for a couple of mins to chill . Put the egg whites during a bowl with a pinch of sea salt and whisk to soft peaks. Tip the sugar into a separate bowl and add the egg yolks.

Whisk until pale and fluffy. Pour within the vegetable oil , mix well, then stir within the melted chocolate. Add an outsized spoonful of the albumen to the chocolate mixture and gently fold together, being careful to not overwork the mixture. Add the remaining albumen and gently fold until completely mixed. Divide between 2 glasses and chill for 1hr to line . Take the mousses out of the fridge 10 mins before serving. Garnish with a pinch of sea salt and therefore the edible gold glitter.
