Wow, so easy to understand & got good tips & explanation as well. Good video on how to make it! Love it, subscribed 😎

I love how he is not focusing on anything besides his real work, with no pretence and unnecessary presentation. Not to forget he doesn’t ask to “click the subscribe button” 😆

1. I made the recipe and it was fabulous! I used 75% cacao chocolate (Callebaut) and a little less sugar and it was still plenty sweet. (2) This fellow's presentation makes for pleasant watching. I love listening to his accent and watching him. He clearly cares a lot about teaching in a way that is helpful. He covers all the things NOT to do as well as to do. I suspect he's done a fair amount of in-person teaching. (3) As others said, no music, no strange camera shots, nothing extraneous to just good learning. I could watch him all day! I'm sorry to see he's stopped making videos. Thank you, Mr. FrenchApprentice, you are appreciated!

It’s really funny the fact that the little chef hanging on the wall looks exactly the same as the real chef.

I hope this helps with a lot of ur questions. I'm a young chef & been doin these for yrs.. This is the "traditional" way of making mousse so if ur afraid with salmonela, be sure as always you use 'fresh' eggs.. and mix the eggs to the chocolate when it's hot enough to kill the bacteria. Enjoy!

Merci Chef Allan! Cheers! 😊

I make the French style Chocolate Mousse with eggs and my favorite tweaks to make it mine. I served it last Christmas for dessert. As I was eating mine I suddenly realized the only sound I could hear was the crackling fire in the fireplace. I looked up to see a room full of people cuddled up with their champagne flute of mousse savoring it as if it was something unearthly delivered straight from heaven. You know the recipe is good when it can silence grownups and children.

Best mousse recipe I've ever found. No lumps, no grainy bits of unmelted chocolate, and deliciously light. It's the attention to detail that makes the difference, e.g. the clear explanation of how best to melt chocolate. Merci monsieur!

Hey Chef, good to see you still teaching, long time since my apprenticeship. Best teacher

[nenitarivera]

What a great video!... he just made/ taught everything in the truest way himself... in honest way.
Thanks, chef... you are a good person.
God bless you always!

I’ve been using this recipe for years, it’s the best I’ve found here. It’s always turned out great. I tend to add an extra egg, otherwise it can get a little chocolatey for my taste, still excellent. The chef is an excellent teacher too, making things clear and easy to remember. I wish he had more videos though.

[Motherslife]

I love the fact he doesn’t waist any of the creme or chocolate on the bowls. Respect.

the moment he made sure to scrape everything cleanly, i immediately decided to subscribe to him
