Chocolate mousse

6 servings

20 minutes

Chocolate mousse is the simplest thing. It is easy to prepare, the main thing is to find the right, and most importantly, real chocolate. This recipe uses two types of it. Dark for the base, from which, in fact, the mousse is made. And milk, which is optional here - you need to sprinkle the finished dessert beautifully with it, but if you don't really like milk chocolate, then you can easily skip this step. Decorate the mousse with whipped cream, and they are very useful here: they soften the natural bitterness of dark chocolate .
