Chocolate cardamom mousse recipe

• 200 g (7.1oz) roughly chopped dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
• 6 eggs separated
• 200 ml (7fl oz) double cream
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 20 green cardamom pods, bashed, husks removed and seeds ground to fine powder
• 10 pistachios, roughly chopped

1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over pan of simmering water and cook until the chocolate has turned silky and shiny.
2. Remove from the heat and add 4 egg yolks, beating well.
3. In another bowl, whip the cream until it peaks and gently fold into the chocolate until it disappears.
4. Beat the six egg whites in a separate bowl until they form soft snowy peaks and quickly beat in the sugar.
5. Carefully mix half into the chocolate, once its been completely assimilated, add the remaining half.
6. Doing it this way will loosen the mousse and keep it light.
7. Finally drop in the cardamom powder and stir well.
8. Pour into glasses and refrigerate for at least an hour.
9. Remove an hour before serving and sprinkle the crushed pistachios on top.
