Step 1
Melt the 200g dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whip the 240ml heavy cream with the 2 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently until just combined, keeping it airy.
Step 4
Spoon the mousse into 4 serving glasses. Top each with 150g red currants and sprinkle with 4 tbsp rolled oats.
Step 5
Chill for 10 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
