Chocolate Mousse
Baking and Desserts • French
Description
Chocolate mousse is the simplest thing. It's easy to make; the main thing is to find suitable and, above all, real chocolate. This recipe uses two types. Bitter chocolate for the base, which is actually used to make the mousse. And milk chocolate, which is optional here — it's used to beautifully sprinkle the finished dessert, but if milk chocolate isn't really liked, this step can easily be skipped. The mousse is decorated with whipped cream, which is very appropriate here: it softens the natural bitterness of dark chocolate.
Ingredients
- Bittersweet Chocolate 5 oz
- 33% Cream 15 fl oz
