CHOCOLATE ORANGE MOUSE

CHOCOLATE MOUSE

This is one of my favorite desserts because it is easy to make, tastes decadent and is actually low calorie (approx. 300 calories and that's not bad for a dessert).

What you will need:

12 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. orange extract (you can also use raspberry,halzenut or any of you favorite flavors)
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar (white)
10 egg whites beaten to stiff peaks

In a microwave safe bowl add chips, extract and milk melt on high for 1 1/2 minutes let sit in microwave for 1 minute. Remove from micro and stir until smooth, set aside at room temperature.

Meanwhile, seperate egg making sure not to get any yokes in them. Add a pinch of salt and beat on med-high speed until frothy add 1/3 cup sugar and continue to beat until it forms stiff peaks approx. 8 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl combine melted chocolate and beaten egg whites, fold together gently ( important: do not stir, whip or blend) You can fill individual serving cups or place in one bowl cover and refridgerate at least 2 hours or overnight garnish and serve.

Enjoy!
