Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, water, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch, and cook over medium heat. When the mixture starts to boil, reduce to a simmer and let cook for ten minutes, or until thickened. After ten minutes, pour in the vanilla extract and mix well to combine. Transfer the compote to a bowl and let cool completely at room temperature.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar, mixing so that all the sugar is coated in water. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat until it reaches 240°F (known as the soft-ball stage).
- If using powdered gelatin, dissolve the gelatin in a small amount of water. Once it forms a congealed mass, microwave the mixture for 10-15 seconds, or until fully dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft-medium peaks form. Set aside.
- Once the pâte à bombe is cool to the touch, stream in the melted gelatin and mix until combined. Then, gently fold in the melted chocolate until homogenous. Finally, fold in the whipped heavy cream and mix until well combined. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes so that it sets up.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or a bowl with a hand mixer), beat together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until medium peaks form.
- Using a clear glass or a small bowl, layer the chocolate mousse, cherry compote, and whipped cream as desired. Serve immediately, and store leftover components in the fridge for up to three days.

Steps:
- Make the black cherry sauce by combining cherries (and their juices), sugar, citric acid and almond extract in a small sauce pot. Cook on medium until the sauce holds a line on a spatula. Pour into a bowl and cool completely. If it isn't cool when you put it in the mousse, it will deflate it.
THE BEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
The best chocolate mousse must be perfect. It should taste rich, indulgent and not too sweet, with a texture that is both light-and-airy and silky-and-smooth. After many attempts we nailed it and made a dessert that not only exceeded our standards, it's also quite easy to pull off. Close your eyes and take a bite -- you'll be transported to a 4-star French restaurant.

Steps:
- Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
- Add the egg, egg yolks, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt and 1 tablespoon water to a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, hot to the touch and has almost doubled in volume, about 4 to 6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, if necessary. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until cooled, about 2 minutes.
- Put the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and gently stir for about 3 minutes to cool slightly.
- Whisk the egg mixture into the melted chocolate in 3 additions until combined. (The mixture may get very thick.) Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions until it is fully incorporated. It is important that the chocolate mixture is not warm to ensure that it combines smoothly with the whipped cream without seizing up.
- Divide the chocolate mousse among four 4-ounce ramekins and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Whip the remaining 3/4 cup cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Top each chocolate mousse with whipped cream and serve. (For a softer texture, allow the ramekins to sit at room temperature while you whip the cream.)
