4 egg yolks, well beaten
1 oz. butter, softened
1 orange, juice of
4 egg whites

Directions:
|
Break good quality bitter chocolate into squares and put in a fireproof dish in a low oven. When the chocolate is soft, after a few minutes, take it from the oven, stir in 4 well-beaten yolks, then 1 oz. of softened butter, then the juice of 1 orange. Use a Seville orange when in season; its aromatic flavor comes through better than that of the sweet orange. Beat the 4 egg whites as for a soufflé and fold them into the chocolate mixture. Pour into little pots, glasses, or coffee-cups. Put in the refrigerator or a cool larder until ready to serve.

Should you have some orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Curacao, add a spoonful in place of the same amount of orange juice.
I used this to doctor a chocolate cake that dried out because it had been sitting in thef ridge for several days. I crumbled the cake and mixed it with the mousse and put them in individual containers.
