White Chocolate Mousse with Blueberry Compote

Ingredients

180g good quality white chocolate
2 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons caster sugar
3/4 cup (180ml) cream
Blueberry compote
2 x 125g punnets blueberries, plus extra to decorate
1 tablespoon caster sugar
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1

To make the blueberry compote, combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over low heat for 3–5 minutes, or until softened and syrupy. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

2

To make the mousse, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of almost simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.

3

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together, until pale and creamy. Gradually pour in the melted chocolate, stirring constantly to combine.

4

Whisk the cream and egg whites in separate bowls, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, until soft peaks form.

5

Gently fold the cream and then the whites through the chocolate mixture.

6

To serve, spoon the compote into the base of four small serving glasses, top with mousse and a few fresh blueberries to decorate. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight to set.
