MINTED PEA AND CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Pace 1/2 cup of  frozen peas , 1/2 cup of full cream milk and 4 tbs of castor sugar in a small saucepan .
Stir over a medium heat until sugar is dissolved and milk comes to a near boil .
Allow to cool a little and then transfer to a processor and add the leaves from 4 sprigs of mint and 2 egg yolks  ( keeping the whites ).
Process until smooth , then strain into a bowl .

In a separate bowl beat the egg whites till stiff and then fold into the chocolate mixture .
Spoon this into serving glasses .

For something a  little different  melt 200 gm of white chocolate and spread it over an oven tray 2 mm thick and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves .
Chill till set , then break into pieces and top the mousse with the minted chocolate shards .
