Chocolate Mousse

"This is a raw-egg mousse that should not be served to those with compromised immune systems. I have made the recipe many times though, with no problems. You can use kirsch, brandy, strong coffee, or another flavor extract to change the taste."

  1. So rich in flavor, yet very light in texture. This is a lovely chocolate dessert that no one would ever guess was so easy to prepare. This is a must for any chocoholic. It gets "fluffier" the longer it chills, so you'll be doing yourself a favor by adhering to the instructions of chilling for at least 4 hours. Thank you for sharing your recipe, KiminyMe. Made for Spring 2011 Pick-A-Chef.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I work full-time outside the house, and I have two school-age kids. <br> <br>I like to cook, and I like having time to cook large meals, especially from other cultures. My family loves Chinese food especially--we eat stir-fry at least twice a week. Greek is second favorite, and I usually do Greek meals a couple of times a month. I also lived in France for several years, so I like to cook French and German foods, too.
