How To Make Chocolate Mousse With Prunes

Any leftover Prune mixture can be kept in an airtight container for upto a month, try it with rice pudding.

Ingredients:

* 350g Dark chocolate(70%), plus extra to serve
* 100ml double cream
* 10 free-range eggs
* 50g golden caster sugar
* 500g dried prunes
* 100ml fresh unsweetened orange juice

Method:

* Prepare the prunes the night before: combine all the ingredients in a bowl and leave to soak overnight.

* The next day, break up the chocolate and melt in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove the bowl from the heat and allow to cool.

* Warm the cream in the pan over a low heat, then mix into the chocolate until it smoothes.

* Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites and sugar until fluffy. Whisk the yolks into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold this into the beaten egg whites.

* Place the prunes in the base of a deep, glass trifle dish, pressing them against the sides. Pour over the mousse and allow to set in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours.

* Shear over a little extra chocolate and serve.

Enjoy it..!!!
