    Heston's Two-ingredient chocolate mousse

    “Sometimes rules are made to be broken. Water is supposed to be the enemy of chocolate but here it’s the key to a mousse that’s astonishingly simple to make and, since no cream is involved, has a gratifyingly intense chocolatey flavour.”

    Ingredients

    350g dark chocolate, 70% minimum cocoa solids, finely chopped 
    270ml hot water

    Method

    1 Place the chocolate in a bowl and add 270ml of hot water. Using a whisk, mix until the chocolate has dissolved.

    2 Place the bowl over an iced water bath and whisk until the mixture begins to thicken.

    3 Remove the bowl from the iced water bath and continue whisking until the mixture just becoming soft set. Serve immediately.
