Yep, it's good!

Thank you for joining us on this special edition of #MasterChefBear

Until next time, whenever that may be, be the person your dog thinks you already are, and your bear knows you can be.

When it's ready to serve, you might like to go a little fancy and shave a little more dark chocolate on the top.

No, not like that, Bethany! Silly bilby!

#MasterChefBear

You can combine the chocolate and cream fully, or leave a ripple effect if you prefer.

#MasterChefBear

We now pull the chocolate mix out of the fridge and gradually introduce the cream to the chocolate.

Cream, this is chocolate.
Chocolate, this is cream.
I'm sure you'll have lots to talk about.

#MasterChefBear

When the cream is whipped good, add 2 tablespoons (or more, we're not being prescriptive) and whisk it in.

#MasterChefBear

Now, grab another bowl because we are going to whip up some double cream. It has to be double cream. This is not the same as two bottles of normal cream!

#MasterChefBear

Next, dump all the chocolate into the rest of the egg white and stir through until it is... um... stirred through.

#MasterChefBear

Plop just a few spoonfuls of the egg white into the chocolate and stir it through to lighten up the chocolate mix.

#MasterChefBear

Lucien says these peaks look stiff enough.

#MasterChefBear

While the chocolate and egg yolks rest a while (they've had a big day already) beat the egg whites until they make stiff peaks.

Hold on tight because the mixer can vibrate.

Now we need to melt them. To avoid burning the chocolate, boil a pot of water, and put the bowl on top to let the steam melt the chocolate.

We are using a bain marie. You could just as easily use a bain michelle, a bain rebecca or a bain rodney if you like.

#MasterChefBear

First, you're going to need 125g of dark chocolate. Pretty much any kind of chocolate will do but dark chocolate is the best. If you have it in bits, plonk it in your bowl. If it's in a block, smash it up like a really frustrating thingy, then plonk.

Hi everyone!
I have brandy! But not for the usual reason.
Our person made chocolate mousse this morning and we wanted to make a tribute to #MasterChefSheep (we miss you, Truffles! 💚)

So come along with us on this special edition of #MasterChefBear
