How much cocoa is there in your dark chocolate?
It's an awesome recipe ..how much rum can we use
A true mousse. Not like the fake shit that uses cream and chocolate and calls mousse
It's not easy to find a recipe that does not include cream, but authentic chocolate mousse is made with butter, not cream, to enhance the chocolate flavor. I don't understand the lemon zest, a modern addition?
Lovely 👌❤
very nice
Is it okay if I don't add sugar?
I had a great success with it. thanks
Temperature of eggs ? Can I use directly from fridge? Or need to wait for room temp?
well isn't this a raw egg being eaten😅😅
Mine didn't turn out good :'( . When I started mixing melted chocolate in whipped egg whites. Thrbegg whites turned flat all of a sudden. The chocolate wasn't extremely cool but it was slight warm to touch… All the egg whites deflated 🙁
Meilleur re7 pour moi🇩🇿
Hello!
Can I add vanilla essence as if we find the taste too eggy?
i tried this recipe and it was delicious thank you
Can I use choco powder instead
I thought mousse is made with heavy cream too
You don’t put lemon peel/ lemon zest in chocolate mousse!!! 😡😡
Came out surprisingly good!
I was so disappointed at finished product after finishing mixing everything until pouring into Crème Brûlée ramekins & chilling which made them all perfect!
Why do you cover glasses with plastic wrap…?
Hi Ella, if I change egg white with heavy cream, can you suggest how many Ml heavy cream that I have to use it ??
