Oh Boy, rich, creamy and chocolate!! So good, add on that it was pretty easy for a mousse and you've got a winner with this one. I really wanted to top with whip cream but it had gone bad in the fridge darn it!! But who cares when the chocolate is so rish and creamy on it's own. The only thing I did differant was cut it in half as there's only 2 of us and it still made plenty enough that I was able to share half of it with a neighbor. This is a chocolate lovers delight.
