Ingredients
60g of dark chocolate broken up.
One spoon of sweeteners.
Three eggs split into yolk and whites.

Method
Begin by melting your chocolate using a double boiler method then mix your egg whites, orange zest, sweetener and vanilla extract into a bowl, and stir in with the chocolate.

Final Words
To conclude, Aero chocolate mousse pots have 5 syns per pot, making them average in syns, but should be eaten within moderation on the plan when your syns allow due to their high sugar content. To save syns we recommend choosing lighter mousse versions which start as low as 4 syns and often have less sugar/fat.
