For the mousse
200ml/7fl oz double cream
1 red chilli, seeds removed, flesh chopped
55g/2oz dark chocolate, melted

3. In a separate bowl, carefully fold the Greek-style yoghurt into the whipped cream with a metal spoon until well combined.
4. Carefully fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream mixture with a metal spoon until well combined.
5. Arrange the mango chunks at the bottom of two ramekins, and spoon the chocolate and cream mixture over the top. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
6. For the salsa, in a bowl, mix together all of the salsa ingredients until well combined.
7. To serve, place one of the chilli chocolate mousses, still in its ramekin, into the centre of each of two serving plates. Place one of the shortbread biscuits alongside each. Serve the mango and pineapple salsa in dipping bowls alongside.
