"Heaven on a spoon" is how one friend describes this chocolaty dessert. My husband, Allen rates it best of all the special treats I've made. The filling can also be used for a pie.

This was the best mousse I ever tasted! It was really easy to follow and everyone at my party loved it! it was really dark (like heavenly chocolate is supposed to be) so I added whipped cream on top right before serving it (so the cram wouldn't go flat). The first time i made this recipe I refrigerated it for only 4 hrs which was not even close to enough time! overnight is good, but if your making a really big batch and putting it in one huge bowl, i suggest refrigerating it for 2 days (that's what i did)!

This is my absolute favorite recipe for chocolate mousse - not too sweet, very chocolate-y, delicious!

This is hands-down my husband's favorite recipe. I make it for him alone. No one else is allowed to have any!

I didn't care for this Mousse. I found the recipe tasting like Whipping cream with chocolate syrup added. I added 3 egg yolks. The yolks were from large eggs. I think if I ever cook this again I would add 5 yolks. Something has to be done to make this recipe taste like a mousse and I think more egg yolks is what is needed.

We made this recipe last year for Christmas Eve and everyone asked for more! I will be making it again tonight, but doubling the recipe this time!

A delicious light tasting dessert. Just remember not to whip the cream too heavy so it maintains its "mousse" taste. Great for us chocolate lovers. We will definitely make this again and again!

I suggest substituting out the heavy whipping cream and using cool whip light. It made it a bit lighter and a bit "healthier"

I made this for Bible study held at my house. It was a big hit. It was a perfect dessert for the hot weather we've been having. Not too much work, and I didn't have to heat up the house with baking. Perfect!

My honey and I both LOVED this dessert ... it was light and fluffy, but extremely rich and chocolatey!
