I make this for my hubby 1-3 times per year. It's his favorite. I forgot where I get the recipe and have FINALLY bookmarked the page. But I found this again and so happy!! This is so easy and so very good. He will be very happy tonight when I present this after dinner :-)

I live alone, so I just love this recipe. I double it, that way I can have it all week long. Also, I used dark chocolate chips. So a little mousse goes a long way. It is rich, but oh so good! Obviously, Rach_TheBoss didn't do something right. I'm am not the best cook, and I had no trouble at all. It was very easy to make. Carol Stubbs

Horrible recipe. Why does this recipe call for water to be added to the chocolate while it melts?!? It seizes up! Plus, it turned into a mucky mess when i added the yolk.

It was a hit - I tripled the recipe to serve to our dinner guests!
