Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. If you overbeat it, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Overmixing will deflate the mousse and make it less airy.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
