Ingredients
  

Chocolate Mousse

  • 8 oz Good quality chocolate (72% cocoa solids)
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Warm water
  • 6 Whole Eggs, separated

Cookie Dirt

  • 10 Oreo cookies (without the centre)

Strawberry Carrots

  • 8 oz White chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp Veg/canola oil
  • 2 Drops Orange food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and put over simmer water (ban Marie) to melt. Gently stir until melted. Remove from the heat and cool.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a large clean bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate mix until combined. Then gently fold in the egg whites into the chocolate mix. Start by folding in 1 spoonful to loosen the mix, then fold in the rest.
  • Spoon the mousse into your prepared, lined pots. Fill up to the top to make for nice presentation.
  • For your cookie 'dirt' crumbs: In a food processor or with a rolling pin, make crumbs with your cookies. Leave some texture in your crumb so it looks like real lumps of dirt.
  • For the Strawberry Carrots: Gently melt your white chocolate (if microwaving, do short intervals as it burns easily). Mix in the oil and food coloring. If it is a bit too thick, add a little more oil. It should be runny. If you need to add more food coloring, do so until you reach your desired orange.
  • Pull back the hull so you don't get chocolate in it and it keeps green. Roll the strawberry and the edge of the bowl to get a good, clean coating of chocolate. Lift out, shake off any excess chocolate, and lay to set on parchment paper.
  • Roll the strawberry in chocolate as close to the hull as possible so you can't see any strawberry left.
  • Drizzle over lines on your carrots to make them look more authentic. Do this using a little piping bag or drizzle the chocolate off a spoon. You may need to reheat the chocolate to thin it out.
  • The Assembly: Generously scatter the cookie 'dirt' over the chocolate mousse. Stick the strawberry 'carrot' in the dirt so it looks like it's growing out of the pot.
  • To really impress your family and friends, pick up some fun Easter bits at a craft store and decorate a plate with chicks, eggs, and all things Easter.
