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.
