Separate the eggs, beat the yolks with the honey until creamy. 3 3.	Clean off your whisks and then beat the whites until they reach stiff peaks. 4 4.	Beat the chocolate into the egg yolks and honey mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until smoothly incorporated.  It’s important that the chocolate is cool enough, otherwise the eggs will cook. 5 5.	Mix about a third of the egg white mixture into the chocolate mix to loosen it. 6 6.	Fold in the next third of egg white to the chocolate, with a metal spoon, followed by the last third. 7 7.	When everything is evenly mixed together, pour into the bowls or glasses in which you wish to serve the mousse and chill for a couple of hours before serving.
