Excellent chocolate mousse! I made this about a month ago when we had neighbors coming over for dinner. It was loved by all 6 of us. I plan to double the recipe and make this again (but without the scotch) for Easter dinner dessert (all 4 grand-kids will be sharing dessert with the grown-ups). It makes a beautiful presentation. Definitely use the orange zest in and on top. It is what makes the mousse! Thanks for posting. (Made for PRMR)

Decadent isn't the right word! It's more than that! It's too good to be true! I always love how orange and chocolate go together, and this is no exception. The whiskey also gave this mousse a nice kick too.
