Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the taste of your mousse. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your cream and chocolate before whipping them will help them whip up more quickly and easily.
- Whip your cream until it forms stiff peaks: This will help your mousse achieve a light and fluffy texture.
- Fold in your chocolate mixture gently: Overmixing will deflate your mousse and make it dense.
- Chill your mousse before serving: This will help it set and develop its full flavor.
