Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Melt the 200g dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate bowl, whip the 240ml heavy cream with the 2 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently until just combined, keeping it airy.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the mousse into 4 serving glasses. Top each with 150g red currants and sprinkle with 4 tbsp rolled oats.

  5. Step 5

    Chill for 10 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
