Made this for Valentines dinner! So soft & silky, true mousse! I used a combination of chocolate- semi sweet & dark chocolate. I'm a dark chocolate fan, yummy!

AWESOME RECIPE! I've used this for years, I have no idea why its never been rated. Very straight forward and easy to understand. The result is perfectly dense, wonderfully whipped mousse.

I love food and I love to cook, but I rarely ever have the time to cook as often as I like. I love trying different foods and enjoy learning to make new foods. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
