Chocolate Mousse

This was my first attempt at mousse and it went rather well. My mother always hated mousse as she felt it was “slimy” but I rather think she would have liked this one as it has some real heft to it and while creamy from the whipped cream, it is anything but slimy. I used her stemware to serve in.

The recipe I intended to use frightened me off with the raw egg whites (I’m currently being treated for an illness with medications that suppress my immune system and I think raw eggs would just be asking for it). Instead, I turned to the internet and found a similar recipe without the use of raw egg whites.

I made this with Baker’s semi-sweet chocolate which was acceptable but not the best call. Were I to make this again, I’d use better quality chocolate and I’d go at least half bittersweet. My husband and son devoured theirs without finding it too sweet.
