There is nothing better after a good dinner than a sweet chocolate mousse pudding. This French chocolate mousse recipe is a classic, and can be easily made at home.

There are plenty of ready-made chocolate mousses out there that you can buy off the shelf in the supermarket that are tasty. But they are never quite the same as a homemade one.

This is a rich, quick and easy chocolate mousse recipe which you can happily serve up at a dinner party. This quick chocolate mousse recipe can be made up front and refrigerated until you need it.
The recipe uses 70% cacao chocolate which gives a delicious dark chocolate mousse.

I still find it miraculous to see what a variety of foods you can make with eggs. This easy mousse recipe uses raw eggs so you need to make sure you are using pasteurized eggs. The result is a simple chocolate mousse recipe that will have you drooling.

Serve up the chocolate mousse with some whipped cream for some complete decadence.
