This mousse is too sweet for my taste. I'm going to try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mousse turned out grainy. I'm going to try again and see if I can get it right.

I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, so I used semisweet chocolate instead. The mousse still turned out great!
