Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor; a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • To melt the chocolate smoothly, use a double boiler or microwave method. If using a microwave, melt the chocolate in short bursts, stirring in between, to prevent it from overheating and seizing.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly.
  • Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a chocolate shaving for an elegant presentation.
