method
1. Break the chocolate into a small saucepan with the butter and melt over a very low heat or melt in a bowl over a saucepan of hot water.
2. Separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with the sugar until frothy. Whisk the whites with the salt until stiff. Whip the cream with the icing sugar until very stiff.
3. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat, mix it into the egg yolks and fold in 2 tablespoons of the whites. Leave the mixture to cool slightly, then fold in the remaining egg whites and half the whipped cream.
4. Rinse 4 individual glasses in cold water, fill them with the mixture and set in the refrigerator. Spoon the remaining cream into a piping bag with a plain nozzle.
5. Before serving, decorate each chocolate mousse with small balls of cream. Sprinkle the cream with chopped pistachios and top with 1 coffee bean.
