This turned out very well, everyone loved the intense chocolate experience. However, it was more like a pot au creme than like a mousse. I gradually added the hot milk as I blended the rest of the ingredients and it came out very well

Its true! This is a rich very decadent dessert! I love it. My family loves it. And its definitely fine restaurant quality mousse. For extra richness, you could even replace the milk with heavy cream. Don't worry about the raw eggs, they cook in the milk since its heated to 165 degrees! If its too sweet, simply cut the extra sugar and just go with the sugar in the choc chips!

Although, I haven't tried this particular recipe I am familiar with a similar one. The one I use is 1 bag of chocolate, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup boiling hot milk. EXCELLENT! By the way, the addition of hot milk to the egg, cooks it, thus making it safe.

I made it, and we didn't have a whole cup of milk, so I used half (vitamin D) milk and half whipping cream, and it came out fantastic, very thick and rich! Next time I'll use less of the sugar. Oh, and the brandy isn't necessary.

This is the easiest mousse I've ever made and it tastes just like the restaurants, not some pudding knock off. I use amaretto instead of brandy for personal preference and it's always a huge hit. I love to serve with rasberries.

WOW! I made this for my boyfriend and it was great! I added about two cups of melted marshmallows to the mix and it was great! It was easy to make and clean up! I will make this again for sure!

I made this for a very special dinner party and it could not have been more of a hit. Rich and creamy, perfect with some sliced strawberries and whipped cream on top!

I was worried because of some reviews, but I wanted to try this mousse anyway. I skipped on the brandy and I added 1/2 cup of heavy cream, but still, it didn't stiffen up. I put it in the fridge and forgot about it. After 24 hours, my daughter got them out of the fridge and guess what: it looked and tasted delicious!!! This is going to be one of my favorites! I even sold it in my shop! Thanks for sharing this recipe
