Notes
- For best results, always use high-quality chocolate — it truly makes all the difference in flavor and texture.
- Cold utensils help cream whip faster and better!
- Feel free to prepare the mousse a day ahead for even richer texture.
- If you’re in a real rush, 30–40 minutes of chilling will still give you a delicious mousse, just a little softer.
