I used a little whipped cream cheese in it and it was great.

The only thing I changed about this recipe was to use 2 oz of coffee instead of 3, at the suggestion of previous reviews. Our guests could still taste the coffee, but it didn't overpower the dessert. I also garnished this with a few raspberries and drizzled it with a little fresh raspberry sauce (1 c fresh raspberries, 1/8 c. kirsch, 1/2 c confectioners' sugar and 1-1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, blended and strained). Absolutely fantastic!!!
Alton Brown you are awesome!!!

Excellent.I make this all the time.
Very easy but lacking in complexity & too rich

Well, the title of my review really says it all. Very easy to make (although make sure you stir in the gelatin when blooming it, a step not specified in the recipe), but this is a dish best served in small quantities as an accompaniment to something else, say vanilla ice cream. It is extremely rich, so you can't really eat even a full serving. Either that or it's not that easy and mine just came out too heavy. To me, mousse should be very light and not overly filling. This one misses the mark somewhat.
Yummo! Thanks for the recipe

I am not the greatest cook. My mousse turned out great. It was so easy too. It was very rich. I used good chocolate. It was lite and fluffy. My hubby is not a coffee drinker and he said he tasted the coffee. Next time I will use regular coffee and not the strong stuff.
Very Rich

I poured this into 4 martini glasses and the servings were HUGE. My mousse turned out very rich and dense. Next time I make it, i'll pour into 8 to 10 glasses instead. I'd give it 5 stars, but it made everyone's mouth really dry for some reason. Maybe it was the 70% dark chocolate I used.
Taste like a 5-star restaurant mousse

I made this recipes several times; and turned out excellent every time. My mousse was light and fluffy; but the taste was very rich. Thanks, Alton!

This was fantastic-it was very rich. The gelatin made the mousse very stiff and dense. It has the texture of nougat. Before I chilled it, the mousse was a little lighter and creamier, so if you don't want a thick fudgy mousse, it's probably better to just eat it right when you make it or leave out the gelatin.
Perfect Texture

My daughter and I tried different Mousse recipes and decided Alton's was the best. It has a rich, smooth texture, good taste and pipes nicely into the glass. We like milk chocolate so we substituted the dark chocolate chucks for milk ones. But, beware, use only quality chocolate. Nestle worked well, but generic chocolate chips did not melt smoothly.

I've used this recipe several times and it has always been a hit. The only quibble I have is with the suggestion to use a metal measuring cup over a candleflame to heat the gelatin - the first two times I made the recipe, it took forever this way. Swirling it over an electric burner on low heat worked much more effectively.
