🇫🇷 France recipe

Mousse au Chocolat

French chocolate mousse is the ultimate expression of chocolate in its purest, most ethereal form. Bittersweet chocolate is melted and folded into billowy whipped egg whites and cream, creating a dessert that is simultaneously intensely rich and impossibly light. It should tremble on the spoon and dissolve on the tongue.
