This French dessert is light, creamy and full of chocolate. The espresso highlights the chocolate perfectly, and a garnish of unsweetened whipped cream cuts through the sweetness of the mousse. 

Mousse is also easy to portion beautifully: place the finished mousse into a large plastic bag, cut the end off one of the bag tips, and you can pipe the mousse into your serving dishes! Place your mousse into decorative dishes for a dessert that really stands out.

Did you know?  “Mousse” means “froth,” or “foam,” in French!
