Chocolate Mousse
Why I Love This Recipe
My mom has made this since I can remember and it's one of the first recipes that I learned to make. So it makes sense that it's the first recipe that I put in. It is one of the easiest and best desserts that I've ever had, and even now this is the best chocolate mousse that I've ever had. Beware-extremely rich!
Ideas: Make a double recipe and put into a store-bought chocolate pie crust and chill until firm. Or pour mousse into Reynolds Fun Shapes baking cups the night before, and place in the freezer. The next morning, peel off baking cups and place on plate and decorate for a fancy presentation. Hearts are great for Valentine's Day.
