Steps:
- With the chocolate bar flat-side up, scrape a large kitchen knife over the surface to create chocolate curls (you only need enough to decorate the mousses before serving). Transfer to a plate and chill. Finely chop the remaining chocolate and put in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, stirring every now and then, until melted. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in short bursts, to ensure it doesn't burn. Set aside to cool for 10 mins.
- Put the cream and peppermint extract in a bowl. Put the egg whites in another bowl with a small pinch of salt. Using very clean beaters, whisk the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks, add the sugar and briefly whisk again. Transfer the beaters to the cream and whisk until just holding its shape, then fold in 200g of the yogurt. Stir the egg yolks into the melted chocolate.
- Add a large spoonful of egg white to the chocolate mix and stir to loosen the consistency. Add the remaining egg whites and the whipped cream. Gently fold everything together with a large metal spoon, trying to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. When there are no more visible streaks, transfer to eight serving glasses and chill for 2 hrs, or cover with cling film and chill for up to 24 hrs.
- Before serving, top each mousse with a spoonful of yogurt, pomegranate seeds, chocolate shavings and mint leaves.

MINT MOUSSE
Richer than pudding, try this in dessert cups sprinkled with cocoa powder...OR as a pie in chocolate cookie crust! Cooking time is also chilling time.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MINT MOUSSE
I am not normally much of a white chocolate person, but the peppermint seems to eradicate its lethal richness. Nevertheless, my nephew did say of it, when I let him have some for a birthday treat, that it was like being able to eat the icing without having the cake. He wasn't speaking figuratively. And because it is rich and sweet, I serve it in uncharacteristically small portions. As they say in showbiz, always good to leave 'em wanting more.

Steps:
- Put the pieces of white chocolate in a bowl, and sit this bowl over a pan over simmering water until it melts, stirring gently with a spatula every now and then. When it's melted, stand the bowl on a cold surface to cool down a little.
- In another bowl, and using an electric handheld whisk for ease, whip the cream, egg white and extract together. You want soft peaking rather than a stiff mixture.
- Put a big dollop of cream onto the slightly cooled chocolate and mix, and then gently fold the chocolate mixture into the cream.
- Divide mixture between 6 small but perfectly formed glasses with a capacity of 60ml/ 1/4-cup each.
- Chill in the fridge or give them a fast icy zap but sitting them in the deep freeze for 10 or 15 minutes. Decorate top with a mint leaf before serving.
STRAWBERRY-BASIL-MINT MOUSSE
In the Old Port of Montreal, there is a gelato shop that serves strawberry basil mint ice cream. We've been going there every summer for this unique and outstanding ice cream. I've been making all sorts of mousses lately, and remembered this ice cream, and thought it might make a good mousse. I was not wrong. The amount of sugar used is about right for sweetened berries. If you have unsweetened berries, you may want to add more sugar, depending on your tastes.

Steps:
- In a small pot, heat the strawberries and syrup. Sprinkle the gelatin over the strawberries and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.
- Put egg whites in a medium sized bowl and beat with an electric mixer until frothy. Add the sugar a little at a time while continuing to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
- In a separate larger bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Place the cooled strawberry mixture in a blender and blend. Add about 10 mint leaves and 10 basil leaves and blend. Adjust to taste.
- Pour half the strawberry/herb mixture and half the egg whites into the whipped cream and fold together. Pour the rest of the strawberries and egg whites in and fold.
- Ladle the mousse into serving dishes and chill before serving, about one hour. A mint leaf makes a nice garnish.

WHITE-CHOCOLATE-MINT MOUSSE
A very simple, very delicious mousse. I serve it in individual goblets, garnished with fresh mint, or, if there's time, mint leaves brushed with egg white and coated with confectioner's sugar and frozen. Or, even fancier, paint mint leaves with melted dark chocolate, chill, then peel off the mint leaves--you have delicate dark chocolate leaves for garnish.

Steps:
- Have ready a serving bowl with at least a 6-cup capacity.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, place 1/2 cup of the cream and the butter and heat until the mixture is hot and the butter melts. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the white chocolate and let it soften in the hot cream mixture for about 30 seconds. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and all of the white chocolate melts.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool to the touch but still pourable, about 30 minutes.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer, mix the remaining 2 cups of cold cream, vanilla, mint extract and the cooled white-chocolate mixture on low speed to blend the ingredients.
- Increase the speed to medium high and beat until firm peaks form, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the mousse to a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. When ready to serve, either leave in the serving bowl or spoon into individual serving bowls/goblets, garnish with the white-chocolate shavings and mint leaves and serve cold.
