This is a really yummy mousse. I needed a chocolate mousse recipe that didn't contain raw egg so this fit the bill. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the chocolate hardening issue. Like other reviewers experienced, my chocolate firmed up a bit when I combined everything together so wasn't fully smooth. I'm preparing this for a dinner on Saturday so made it for the 2nd time today to perfect it & it came out much better. After reading the other reviews, I made sure that I melted my chocolate thoroughly. Even so, it sits too long during the time you whip the eggs so firms up too much before you have to fold everything together. To help with lumps, follow the recipe as instructed but once you've completed heating your eggs and have taken them off the heat, turn off your stove & place the melted chocolate back on the double boiler, to soften it up a bit. Then once you've finished beating & cooling your eggs, it will combine much easier with the eggs & whipped cream.

This was a good and a fairly easy recipe...I made a mess with a lot of dishes making it but it was worth it! Didn't have rum so subbed Khalua---didn't have espresso powder either so just omitted it...I think next time I will make sure to have the espresso powder...agree with another post that you will def have some chocolate lumps in there the first time so make sure you really melt all of the chocolate!

This is the easiest recipe I have tried yet. It gives you step by step instructions. The only part I had trouble with was mixing the chocolate and egg yolks together. The mixture got very thick, almost looked like dough and became hard to fold into the heavy cream. I changed it up a bit and added half the recommended amount of sugar in the egg yolk and the other half in the heavy cream. It was a lot easier to fold together and wasn't clumpy.

This mousse is delicious!! I felt like there were a lot of steps in the recipe, and I defintely dirtied a lot of dishes making it, but it was worth the effort! Even though I scalded the chocolate, it still came out absolutely delicious, and best of all, I already had all of the ingredients in my fridge! This is a must try!!!!

I have made this for my family several times and they all love it. I am not a big fan of a mousse that is just cream and chocolate. The egg really gives the mousse a restaurant texture and flavor. It tastes so rich and creamy!

I'm pretty good at following intructions and I did exactly like the recipe said but it came out horrible and the difficulty is said to be easy but I think it should medium. I've tried a lot of recipes from food network and this is the first that didn't come out good...:(

This recipe was so chocolatey, and rich, but hit the spot. Just be sure to melt the chocolate ALL the way...oops!
