An early Easter is a mixed blessing. Good to have Lent over and done with, but it is a bit of a false dawn. When Easter is in April, there is a chance of a few early fruits and vegetables, but March is basically winter. As for a bit of chocolate to finish, there may not be much symbolism involved but it is certainly traditional. This sounds complicated but it isn’t – and imperfections are easily hidden under the meringue and dustings of cocoa and sugar.
Wine to serve with the chocolate mousse cake: It is not easy to match chocolate with wine, but a tawny Port or Hungarian Tokaji would be suitably rich to cope.
