WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Put the chocolate pieces into a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of gently simmering water until melted.
- Blend the cocoa powder with 4 tbsp hot water, then add to the chocolate and stir really well until smooth. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- Beat the egg yolks and stir into the chocolate mixture. Replace the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water and cook gently for about 5 mins, stirring until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the chilli powder. Taste to check the heat, adding a little more if required.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then add the caster sugar and whisk again until glossy. Fold through the chocolate mixture using a large metal spoon. Share between 6 small glasses and top with a cherry. Serve with the remaining cherries.
Top tip for making Weight Watchers chilli chocolate mousse
For a slightly naughty twist, swap 2 tbsp of the hot water for 2 tbsp cherry liqueur. This will add extra calories - but not many.
