Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and put over simmer water ( ban Marie) to melt

Gently stir until melted

Remove rom the heat and cool

Whisk the eggs whites in a large clean bowl until stiff peeks form

Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate mix until combined

Then gently fold in the egg whites into the chocolate mix also. Start by folding in 1 spoonful to loosen the mix, then fold in the rest

Spoon the mousse into your prepared, lined pots. Fill up to the top to make for nice presentation

For you cookie 'dirt' crumbs

In a food processor or with a rolling pin make crumbs with your cookies. Leave some texture in your crumb so it looks like real lumps of dirt

For the Strawberry Carrots

Gently melt your white chocolate ( if microwaving do short intervals as it burns easily)

Mix in the oil and food coloring. If it is a bit too thick then add a little more oil. It should be runny. If you need to add more food coloring do until you reach your desired orange

Pull back the hull so you don't get chocolate in it and it keeps green.

Roll the strawberry and the edge of the bowl to get a good, clean coating of chocolate. Lift out, shake off any excess chocolate and lay to set on parchment paper

Roll the strawberry in chocolate as close to the hull as possible so you can't see any strawberry left

I drizzled over lines on my carrots to make them look more authentic. Do this using a little piping bag or drizzle the chocolate off a spoon. You may need to reheat the chocolate to thin it out

( I know that when you try this you will realize it is not as easy as I make it sound. My first batch looks pretty sad. The second one was much better. You will get the hang of it :)

The Assembly

Generously scatter the cookie 'dirt' over the chocolate mousse

Stick the strawberry 'carrot' in the dirt so it looks like it's growing out of the pot
