This Was Super East For Me To Do! I Only Did 2 Egg Yokes & 1/2 A Cup Of Suger, And I Had No Problem Trying To Melt My Suger. I Also Added Some Dark Chocolate Chunks In There For Some Extra Flavor! It Is Super Delicious And I Recomend Anyone To Try It!

It was not as easy as indicated. It took forever and a day to get the sugar to melt. I think maybe the egg yolk/sugar mixture should be added slowly while being stirred. I gave up after 45 minutes and just used it as it was. The flavor was wonderful and I will try again, with a few adjustments. Also, it makes A TON of mousse. Maybe I will cut the recipe in half next time.

I was looking for a chocolate mousse, to make tonight, for our 4 generation dinner. I am so glad I chose this one. We all liked it; even our surprise guest who popped in. I followed the directions to a "T." Next time I will make it ahead of time so it will be a bit cooler. Will definitely make this again. Thanks Paula!!!
