Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is recommended.
- Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up faster and create a stiffer mousse.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the mousse into the glasses.
- For a more elegant presentation, you can garnish the mousse with a cherry or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- The mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
