Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Mousse recipe is derived from the French word mousse which means "lather" or "foam". A mousse is a prepared food that incorporates air bubbles from whipped cream or meringue to give it a light and airy texture. It can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick, depending on preparation techniques. Chocolate mousse is no exception to this classical dessert. Chocolate mousse recipe is what many considered a deadly sin in the world of culinary for its richness but never the less it is a sin many of us enjoyed committing over and over again especially if made with real couverture chocolate which gives it a taste like no other dessert. What do I have to say for this favourite is... indulge now and regret later.
