Ingredients
  

  • 100g dark chocolate* 70% cocoa solids or above. Any lower the mousse may not set.
  • 200ml boiling water
  • Zest of 1 orange

Instructions
 

  • Break up the dark chocolate into a heat-proof bowl. Pour the boiling water on top and allow to sit for 2 minutes.
  • Mix until the chocolate has completely melted, then pour into a high-speed blender along with the orange zest.
  • Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, then pour into 4 small dessert glasses/dishes.
  • Set in the fridge for 2 hours. Enjoy!

Notes

Notes:
* I used 75% dark chocolate. I haven't tried it with anything lower, but it may not set properly with a lower cocoa solids percentage
** I find that a shallow, wider ramekin works best to help the mousse set evenly and quicker!
