Found the mousse at last

I lost my choclate mousse recipie, but thanks to a blog called Health Inspirations, (actually, her mum!) I found one that looks exactly as I remember it; and this is also her photo.   

This is a soft, rich mousse that has raw egg, just like the original French one I had, so it is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant.  (raw egg is a problem in some countries, fortunately not mine!)

 You can play around with the amounts of chocolate you want to use. I recommend using 1 bar {which is equivalent to 100g or just over 3.5 ounces} but depending on how rich you want it to be you can modify it slightly. Use at least 70% cocoa butter chocolate, not a compound or milk chocolate. The recipe yields enough for a big bowl which should generously feed 5-6 people for dessert. 

 Mousse au Chocolat

Rating : easy 

Ingredients:

 200g caster sugar
125mlwater
100g dark {semisweet} chocolate, roughly chopped
2 egg yolks
125ml whipping cream

Instructions: 

In a small sauce pan combine the caster sugar and water.
Cook and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Remove from heat amd add the chopped chocolate, .
Stir occasionally until the chocolate melts.
Then stir in the egg yolks.
Let the mixture cool completely.
You can occasionally stir the mixture to prevent it from clumping.
 Whip the  cream until soft peaks form.
Carefully  fold in gently to the chocolate.
Either pour the mousse into a large serving bowl or into smaller serving cups. I used espresso cups
Cover and chill for at least 6 hours. 12-24 hours is better.
Before serving, garnish with grated chocolate.
