Expert Tips
Make sure the melted chocolate cools slightly before mixing to prevent scrambling eggs. Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation. When folding whipped cream and egg whites, be gentle to keep the mousse light and airy. You can prepare this mousse up to a day ahead; just cover and refrigerate.
Storage
Store chocolate mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It doesn’t freeze well because texture changes when thawed. Serve chilled for the best creamy texture and taste.
Variations
- Vegan: Use avocado or silken tofu blended with melted vegan chocolate and coconut cream for a plant-based version.
- Gluten-Free: This mousse is naturally gluten-free but always check labels on ingredients.
- Dairy-Free: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or almond cream.
- Refined Sugar-Free: Use maple syrup or agave instead of sugar, adjusting measurements to taste.
