Description

This chocolate mousse is a true delight for all chocolate lovers! I especially like to make it for festive occasions, as it can be prepared wonderfully and tastes simply delicious. The bittersweet chocolate with its high cocoa content provides an intense aroma that harmonizes perfectly with the fluffy cream and meringue. A touch of grated chocolate as a decoration makes this mousse a real eye-catcher. It tastes best well chilled, when the flavors have fully developed. An absolute must for every chocolate fan!
