Steps:
- Make the coeur à la crème:

- Make the strawberry sauce:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix strawberries, brandy, sugar, vanilla paste, pepper, salt, and 1/4 cup water a small baking dish. Roast, stirring occasionally, until juices are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in lemon juice.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
- Use heavy cream instead of milk. Heavy cream will give the mousse a richer flavor and texture.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help the mousse hold its shape.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will cause the mousse to deflate.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
- Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings.
