Too sweet for my taste 😕. Wish I had used less chocolate. Next time I’ll try dark chocolate instead!
This mousse is heavenly! I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. Will definitely make again!
I don’t know, the recipe seems a bit complicated. Can I just use whipped cream instead of all the steps? Sounds like a lot of work.
Whipped cream could work, but it’s not the same! The mousse has a special texture. Maybe just give the recipe a try, it’s worth it!
