This is a good basic recipe--really watch your egg "custard" though. It might be my chocolate selection, but the last time I made it, it seemed to need something--vanilla, coffee, liquer?--not sure. So 4 stars.

This is the recipe I use to make chocolate mousse cake filling. So quick and easy and it comes out perfect. I added coffee the last time and it really did enhance the flavor of the chocolate nicely. It tasted alot like chocolate ice cream. This is a definite keeper

Absolutely loved this recipe! Wouldn't change a thing. The only thing I noticed is that the egg mixture took longer than 1-2 minutes to thicken to 160 degrees. Also, anyone who hasn't made mousse before, the temperature has to be near perfect. Any hotter than 160 and you risk curdling the eggs.

Absolutely delicious. Definitely need to use the candy thermometer though or wait until the egg mixture is thickened; it took much longer than "1-2 minutes" for me.Whipping the cream in a chilled bowl is really important too and not necessarily something a beginner would know. Super recipe--thanks! Can't wait to serve this!

I loved this recipe! Rich & creamy...a little piece of "HEAVEN". I only made 1 altercation to this recipe... instead of cooling it on ice... I put it into the freezer stirring in 5 min intervals until cool. It came out AMAZING!

I made this mousse to fill chocolate shells I had made. Everyone loved the filling. The shell was too rich but the mousse, (according to many palates) was just the right amount of chocolate and creaminess.

I made this for my father-in-law who is pre-diabetic, and substituted Splenda for the sugar and it was fantastic. I made 3 servings for him and he ate all of them :)

I absolutely loved this recipe and so did my family. I used it as a filling for a chocolate cake (Dark Chocolate Cake I … also from this site) and it was WONDERFUL. Obviously there was some left over but I ate it all within a couple of days. I followed the instructions from another reviewer (Reviewed on Sep. 20, 2008 by Christine) which was very helpful and I also added dark chocolate pieces to the mousse which was delicious.

This was amazing. I made it exactly as written and it came out fluffy and rich. It tasted EXACTLY like a dessert called Bete Noire (Dark Beast) that I had as a child at a fancy French restaurant. Delicious! It sent me right back to my childhood. I'll absolutely make it again.

Totally awesome! Not the easiest thing I ever made, timing will be better next time but SURE worth the effort. I too used coffee in place of water, next time, since it is really, really rich, I'm going to add some strawberries or bannana's or some filler fruit in it, don't know how that will be but I'm defidently going to keep making this, loved it.

I bought a candy thermometer just for this per another reviews suggestion and very thankful i did. It turned out PERFECT, and I'm a complete novice. Take your time and do it right and this is an amazingly decadent dessert anyone would love.

Heavenly is right! Very heavy chocolate flavor. I did use coffee instead of the water when melting the chocolate and added a tsp vanilla and some unflavored gelatin to the whipped topping part, as suggested by others. As if this wasn't decadent enough, I added in skor's pieces and then served this layered over kahlua soaked fudge brownies, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles of heath bits on top of it all. Added this mousse to my personal death by chocolate collection! Lukewarm bath water is about 105 deg. 160 deg (in my make do way) is when you skick your finger in it and you aren't burnt but you want to pull it out right away. It worked out just fine and took about 5 or 7 minutes.

OMG This is heaven on a spoon! It is better the next day as others suggested - but who can wait that long? I ate one the day they were made AND one the next day. . . I did over beat the whip cream but it didn't affect the flavor. Thanks for sharing!

This was the best mousse I have ever had. I used chocolate chips for the chocolate and it turned out wonderful. Other than that I followed the recipe to a tee!
