I think this is the quickest pudding recipe to make - doesn't take long to eat either. I usually make a concession to healthy eating by not putting a blob of cream on top.

4. Whisk the egg whites lightly until they are just holding their shape.

6. Spoon or pour the mixture into small pots or dishes.
7. Decorate, if liked, with whipped cream and walnuts.
Is it Masterchef quality mouse? Thanks for the recipe - I am going to try this and put a photo up of the results fair or fail. Love the photo - the deep dark chocolate colour is divine.
These look delicious. You have captured the dark chocolate and detail very well, also looks great in the white ramekins, I am looking forward to David making these for me :-)
@w3n6y@doblaine@creativeamateur@tishpics It is delicious - my only caveat is to melt the chocolate in small stages in the microwave as the time before last when I made it I just stuck the chocolate in, timed it for 2 minutes and suddenly the kitchen was full of black smoke, good job I'd stayed there! Took me ages to get the smell out of the microwave.
I saw this in thumbnail on my homepage a few days ago. I didn't have time to comment, but all I could think was "yum" even as I went on.
Now that I see it again, my mouth waters and all I can think is "yum" -- no intelligent thought, but it must be a great photo to get such a visceral reaction :)
