Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. The mousse was light and fluffy, but I would have liked it to be a bit more chocolatey.

The mousse was a bit grainy, which I think was due to the chocolate not being melted properly. I would recommend melting the chocolate slowly and stirring it constantly.

I found that this mousse was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This mousse is a true delight! It's rich, creamy, and has the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. I used dark chocolate, which gave it an extra depth of flavor. My guests were all raving about it.
