This classic chocolate mousse is elegant and surprisingly easy to make! There's just four ingredients and you don't even need any eggs.
Unlike my French-style chocolate pots de creme that's rich, dense, and decadent, this American-style chocolate mousse is soft, light, and airy. It's a great make-ahead dessert and perfect for dinner parties and holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's Day!
