Preparation
Step 1
Divide the macaroons among four glasses. Pour over the red wine until the macaroons are just covered, and set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Whisk the cream into the melted chocolate mixture.
Step 4
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Step 5
Spoon the chocolate mousse into a piping bag and pipe over the red wine-soaked macaroons.
Step 6
Set aside to chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or until just set.
Step 7
Grate the white chocolate over the top of the mousse and serve the tuile biscuits alongside.
