This delicious black and white chocolate mousse is served very cold and decorated with whipped cream. It is an ideal dessert to have ready a day in advance.
Prepare the dark chocolate mousse first. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler.
Whip the egg whites and gradually add the sugar until they are white and frothy. Add the liqueur and the melted chocolate.
Whip the cold cream until it doubles in volume and fold in 1/3 of the egg white mixture. Add the rest of the egg white mixture, folding gently.
Place the chocolate mousse in 8 martini glasses or dessert cups (it should be half full to make room for the white mousse).
Prepare the white mousse. Heat 3/4 cup of cream and melt the white chocolate in it. Let it cool and add the liqueur.
Whip the cold cream until it doubles in volume and add the chocolate. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and add 1/3 of the cream, folding gently. Add the rest, fold, and pour over the white chocolate in each glass.
Place in the freezer until it hardens.
To serve, take it out of the freezer about 15 minutes before and decorate each mousse with a little whipped cream in a swirl and sprinkle with grated chocolate.
