I'm doing it right

Raymond Blanc's Chocolate mousse is pretty much how I make it with the difference that I use raw cane or demerera sugar instead of fructose and I use a few of the yolks because I have no way of using them otherwise and throwing them away would just be wrong.
However, as I've discovered from the last batch I made, I should really use even more eggs than I used to. I've now increased it to 6 eggs to 100g of choc which is roughly the same as Raymond's and it was the fluffiest yet. If I left out the yolks, it would be even fluffier. Hm, must find a way of making something with yolks at the same time.  Any ideas?

boiled egg yols are delicious in curry!

Ice cream does with with egg yolks added for creamyness. I have a recipe, somewhere - if you don't have your own to hand.

I got a cheap ice-cream maker a few months ago - but you can do it by hand for results which are just as good!

Problem being that I don't have a freezer...

Mayonnaise. I sometimes put whites of egg in mine, just because otherwise it would go down the sink (and block it).

Custard (though I guess that wouldn't go too well with the mousse)

Scrambled eggs

Various pastries and pastas

Or find someone like me to swap with. I've never had a left over egg yolk but often have left-over egg whites.

Mayo is a good idea.

Good suggestions, thanks!

Custard! Custard! Custard!

(I have the opposite problem, I end up with egg whites from making the custard. I usually make macaroons with them :) )

Always have steak before your chocolate mousse and make beanaise sauce

Zabaglione.

Heh. When my mum makes macaroons for Christmas, she makes eggnog with the yolks.

Custard & Zabaglione, as has already been suggested, otherwise Creme Brulee, Creme Caramel, use in pates, add to scrambled eggs.
