McKenzie's Favorite Mousse

This is a really rich mousse, kind of halfway between mousse and icing.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
5 Tbsp (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder (use a good-quality, rich, dark, pure chocolate--organic is probably your best bet for this. It's important because the quality of the mousse depends almost entirely on the quality of the chocolate).
5 Tbsp (40 g) powdered sugar

Equipment:

oven-safe ramikins for baking
electric mixer
whisk
mixing bowl

Directions:

1) Separate the eggs and put the whites in the bowl. Fry the yolks if you are using them for baby food.
2) Beat the eggs with the electric beater, on medium, at least 3 minutes.
3) Add the sugar and chocolate. Whisk in. Don't worry about the texture change; it is supposed to go from firm to runny.
4) Put the mixture in your ramikins (two medium, four small, or one large) and bake at gas mark 2/300*F/150*C for one hour.

Thanks for the crepe recipes! I am excited to try grown-up crepes.

I fry the yolks just like frying a whole egg.
