    Mousse is my son-in-law's favorite dessert, so I figured I'd give it a go for his birthday. I am not a marshmallow fan, so I was not expecting much. SO not marshmallowy in any way. Everyone practically licked their cups clean. Definitely a keeper. Better than the choc mousse's I've had in many a fancy restaurant. Ridiculously easy, and delicious!

    Absolutly Vantastic!! its soo easy... Oddly enough I made it the first few times from memory, it seemed easy enough to remember the same measure for the 3 main ingrediants, (except for the water including the cream! (and I too had to halve the recipie It came out wonderfully rich and quite dense, almost truffle like! Then Looking at Nigellas site made me realise that I had forgotten the Butter!!! but it still turned out!? Darn! now I'll have to make it again.. this time with butter.. how much better can it be??? Has anyone tried this with White chocolate chips??

    yum yum!! This mousse was sooo easy to make & so tasty! It's a chocolate lover's dream! Next time I'm going to add a spoonful of Cointreau or Grand Marnier instead of the water! Big hit with everyone who tasted it!

    Easy and fantastic! Sure beats the two hours it takes to make mousse the traditional way! Don't whip the cream too much or you'll have a dense fudge-like mousse instead of a light fluffy one! It sets up fantastically in the fridge even if it seems a bit too runny after combining.

    It was my first time ever attempting to make chocolate mousse. I don't think I whipped the cream long enough, and I failed to let the chocolate cool enough before folding it in. The good news is that after I let it set in the fridge for about an hour I decided to whip it again in my kitchen aid mixer, and let it chill again. After that it was the perfect texture and consistency. My husband doesn't really like sweets too much, and he loved it. I served it with organic mixed berries.
