You need a 9 1/2" flan pan with a removable bottom to make this
spectacular looking dessert. PASTRY: Combine flour, icing sugar and

form into ball with hands. Press into bottom and sides of flan ring
pan with removable bottom that has been greased. Chill 1 hour. Bake at
425F for 10 minutes; cool. MOUSSE FILLING: Bring 1/2 cup whipping
cream to a boil, Add 5 squares chocolate and 2 tbsp butter, stir until
melted. Blend in 2 eggs yolks well, remove from heat. Beat egg whites
till frothy, gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, beating till stiff peaks
form. Gently fold into chocolate mixture; pour into pastry crust,
chill 10 minutes. GARNISH: Shortly before serving, sprinkle 3
squares (coarsely grated- use a vegetable peeler to make curls) over
mousse. Lay 3 strips of wax paper across flan. Sift icing sugar over
flan; remove wax paper. NB: Don't make or serve this on a hot day; it
will melt. from Baker's Chocolate
