2egg yolks
2egg whites
1cupwhipping cream

Instructions
Make the mandarin slices: Slice a little off the top and bottom and place the mandarin on one of the cut sides.Trim away the skin and pith. Use a small and flexible knife and start at the top and slice downwards following the curve of the fruit. Cut away as much of the skin and pith as possible, but don't cut too deep, because you will take too much of the fruit. Turn the fruit around and cut off the pieces that you missed. Place the mandarin on it side and cut thin slices. Enough to cover the inside of 4 small bowls or 2 larger bowls.
Chop the chocolate fine and melt it in the microwave or au-bain-marie.
Beat the egg yolks until pate, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the warm chocolate and beat again, until well mix. Allow to cool.
Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form and store in fridge.
Beat the egg whites with the sugar until soft peaks form and store this also in the fridge.
When the chocolate mixture is cool, fold the whipped cream into it.
Then fold the beaten egg whites into the cream/chocolate mixture.
Cover the inside of 4 small bowls or 2 larger bowls with the mandarin slices.
Pour the chocolate mousse in the prepared bowls and refrigerate overnight.
Place a plate on top of the bowl and reverse. Slowly remove the bowl from the mousse.
