How it's done

Chocolate

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth.

Chocolate decorations

Using a spoon, place 4 small dots of melted chocolate on a plate lined with baking paper, smooth out using a brush, chill.

Mousse

Using the whisk on a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl for approx. 5 mins. until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Add the chocolate and mix. Carefully fold the whipped cream and poppy seeds into the mixture using a rubber spatula, cover and chill for approx. 3 hrs.

Coulis

Place the berries, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a pan, cover and simmer for approx. 5 mins. until soft. Leave the berries to cool then pass through a sieve.

Serve

Scoop out the mousse using 2 tablespoons and arrange on plates along with some of the berry coulis.
