method
1. Put the grated chocolate into a large heatproof bowl with the orange juice.
2. Sprinkle the gelatine on to the liquid. Stand the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts and the gelatine dissolves.
3. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth.
4. Beat the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture with a few drops of vanilla essence.
5. Whip the cream in a separate bowl until it just holds its shape, then fold into the mixture.
6. Finally, in a clean, grease free bowl, whisk the egg whites until fairly stiff, then fold gently into the chocolate mixture until evenly blended.
7. Pour into a wetted 750 ml (1 1/4 pint) mould or deep serving bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours until set.
8. Turn out, if necessary, and decorate with whipped cream and coarsely grated chocolate.
