Ingredients

1 quart heavy or whipping cream
14 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted

Directions

Whip the cream to soft peaks and add about 1/3 of the melted chocolate. Fold gently with a rubber spatula. Mix the remaining chocolate into the whipped cream. Mix only until combined, as you will deflate the cream if you overmix. Place the mousse in a large pastry bag and pipe into decorative serving cups.

Easy and delicious....not intermediate.....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After reading the comments, I decided to add more chocolate and the mousse turned out great. I used 3 cups of semi sweet... chocolate morsels. The best part is that it is so easy to make that it can be made at any time. I don't know why the recipe says it's intermediate; that must be a mistake.Read more

Has Potential BUT
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made this yesterday for Valentine's Day. I agree with two previous posts regarding this recipe. First, the ratio of cream... to chocolate is NOT correct. You either need to use HALF the cream stated OR DOUBLE the amount of chocolate if following the recipe as written. Without making one of these changes, your "mousse" will be more like chocolate whipped cream. Second, when made with the correct proportions, this mousse is at its best without the necessary set up time in the fridge. Refrigeration made the mouse too stiff even though I whipped my cream to soft peaks and used chocolate with a low cocoa butter content. Hope this reveiw helps somebody else avoid a disaster as the ingredients are too expensive not to produce perfect results the first time.Read more

Easiest Dessert Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is fast, easy and does not require baking. I usually use chocolate chips instead of bittersweet chocolate. ... Jacques' work is intimidating but this is a snap.Read more

I think it works better with semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet.
