There are so many ways of making a Chocolate Mousse. You can make it with cream, without cream, with egg whites, with egg yolks, without egg yolks. It’s just endless possibilities. Each celebrity chef has his/her own way of making it. Well. This is how I make it. It’s simple, airy, feels light and sets in an hour! I usually feel like digging into my mousse even before it sets. But a little wait will double the pleasure. The cooking time for the mousse won’t take you more than 10-12 minutes. It’s one of the simple recipe that looks priceless!!
