Method
-
Place the chocolate and butter into a small bowl and set over a pan of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
-
Leave to melt, only stirring when you can see that the chocolate has melted.
-
Add the chocolate hazelnut spread, then stir together until smooth and remove from the heat straightaway. Set to one side to cool slightly.
-
Place the eggs and sugar into a medium sized bowl and whisk with an electric whisk, until thick and light in colour, then set to one side.
-
Pour the cream into a smaller bowl and whisk until soft peaks are formed – the cream will just hold its shape when you lift the whisk out.
-
Pour the warm chocolate mixture onto the whisked eggs and whisk together until fully incorporated then fold in two thirds of the whipped cream. You should have a smooth chocolate mousse.
-
Divide between 4 separate serving glasses, then place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
-
Top with some of the berries then the remaining cream then the last of the berries and scatter the chopped nuts over the top.
-
You can serve this straightaway, without putting it in the fridge for 1 hour if you like a softer mousse.
