CHOCOLATE AND OLIVE OIL MOUSSE
Olive oil makes this bittersweet chocolate mousse kosher for a meat meal. Joan Nathan brought the recipe to The Times in 2007. "This is a contemporary dessert from Tangiers, a city with a blend of cultures," the cookbook author Ana Benarroch de Bensadón said. "Originally this recipe included butter and cream, but we replaced it with olive oil, making it 'parve' or neutral."

Steps:
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate over low heat. Cool slightly. Beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until light. Whisk in olive oil, brandy and melted chocolate.
- Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, whisking until stiff but not dry.
- Fold whites into chocolate mixture so that no white streaks remain. Spoon into an 8- or 10-cup serving bowl or divide among 8 or 10 dessert cups or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.
