Double Decker Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate Mousse is simultaneously so simple, and yet so complex. Ensuring that the egg whites are whipped 'just so', that everything combines 'just so', that it sets 'just so'... it can certainly be a challenge! We have gone back to basics with this 'double decker' chocolate mousse that only uses two ingredients. We have done the hard work of trialling and testing (and eating!) the different combinations of ingredients and methods, and have confidence that you will now easily be able to have great results with this recipe!
