Chocolate Mousse for Beginners (and Experts) | Food Wishes

This chocolate mousse for beginners is the all-time easiest method ever for making this iconic French dessert. This recipe is perfect for beginners, but even experts may want to pay attention, because the technique produces the most delicious, most perfectly textured chocolate mousse I've ever had. Enjoy!

I'm a professional pastry chef, but this technique is brilliant, basically a chocolate sabayonne. I'll make this for dinner. Thanks chef!

I like how your style is still geared towards people who might be new to cooking. When you mentioned replacing a spatula I first thought to myself, who doesn't have one of those? It made me remember watching your videos many years ago when I first started getting into cooking, I didn't have many tools back then either. You're a legend in our house.

That is the prettiest demonstration of proper folding I've EVER seen!

I have missed the "lots of compliments" line from the Valentine days ideas. I'm really happy to see it here

7:28 your perfectly timed half pause almost keeled me, I am still belly laughing at you (with you) my MAN!

Your voice makes listening to these newer, longer productions enjoyable. I started watching a lot of YT about 4 years ago, when 5 minutes seemed normal for a quality presentation, tho I was watching mainly programming tutorials. I remember the comments when 8+ minutes was recommended. Now everything I watch wants to be 13 to 20 minutes, kind of like a sitcom, I imagine. Thanks!

You must have read my mind! I attempted to make a tuxedo cake last week and bombed on the chocolate mousse. The white chocolate mouse was perfect, but not dark. This recipe is much easier than the one I tried. My cake fell apart as it wouldn't set, but we ate it anyway! The leaning tuxedo cake of Canada lol, one we will not forget. Thanks for the video; I am inspired to try again!

God bless you Chef John! You've brought my cooking a long way and I'll probably never meet you, but bless your hairy, loveable, comical, informative hands :)

This is probably the most soothing and relaxing recipe video on the channel. Awesome!

This beginner is trying this TONIGHT! 😊

Thanks for the recipe. I made some mousse a few weeks ago, while good, I thought it was way too sweet. It used twice the eggs and chocolate of your recipe, but used 1 1/3 cup sugar. Even halving that, it would still be 10 times the amount of sugar of your recipe. I am looking forward to trying your version.

This recipe is delicious. I have made it twice this week. I beat the eggs in a bowl over simmering water. It makes the egg mixture very light and frothy and doesn’t take long to get to temperature. I’d love the same method to make a lemon mousse, please. It is so delicious.

Just made this for my family. Got so many compliments. First time ever making a mousse and this was such an easy technique. Thank you!!

[tylusdawkins]

My wife loves it, we just made it for the second time, thanks!

Best served in one of those moose glasses like in Christmas Vacation.

"It's Valentine's Day, and we're trying to get l-ots of compliments!" Sure, Chef John, sure.
