This dreamy dessert is perfect for a special occasion. The tart raspberries bring relief from the rich chocolate and cream.

1 egg, separated

1/4 cup caster sugar

1 cup cream

1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, plus extra for garnish

Method

1.Combine chocolate or melts in a glass dish with ¼ cup of the cream. Heat gently in the microwave or over a double boiler until melted and smooth.

2.Cool for 5 minutes, then add the egg yolk. Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then chill.

3.Meanwhile, beat the egg white until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating constantly until thick and glossy.

4.Gently fold in the cream, raspberries and beaten egg white into the white chocolate mixture and spoon into glasses. Top with extra raspberries and chill for at least 4 hours.

5.Serve chilled with a light dusting of icing sugar.

I always love to serve mousse with a crunchy biscuit, such as amoretti or biscotti.
