very thick chocolate component, still had chunks of chocolate, egg whites seemed over-beaten, difficult to combine the two parts of the mousse. used dark choc which was too rich.
fabulous recipe! a big hit with the family
I used large eggs, so needed more time to whip the egg whites. I found the chocolate was sticking to the side of the bowl and not being mixed properly, so checked more frequently to make sure the chocolate was melted and smooth. I also added 2tbs of castor sugar to the chocolate and cream mix to cut the bitterness of the 85% dark choc back a touch. Great result.
Made this and loved it. Will try again and “tweak” it slightly, more like the traditional mousse I've made before. New owner of a Cook Expert and was my second thing I made. Loving it so far.
