Beautiful! I followed the recipe to the letter for the mousse. I topped it with whipped cream and a crumbled peppermint crisp. My guests loved it. I was concerned that it could have been more aerated (even though it was quite light). One female guest said the only improvement I could have made would be if I had waited for the melted chocolate in the blender to cool somewhat prior to adding the egg yolks. The improvement was not required for enjoyment that night, but if you're a perfectionist, that might be the way to go. Thanks for sharing the recipe Millie!

    Delicious! I also folded in a bit of cool whip before putting in fridge. I really love the flavor and texture of this mousse and it was super easy to make. Now if only I hadn't made a whole batch for just hubby and I lol. I guess that calorie counting is gonna have to go out the window tonight and tomorrow!
