I love how you're not afraid to show the fails, too.

“For a smoother finish heat up the spoons”
Yeah not gonna lie my mind immediately said “microwave”.
Yikes.

For those who are unaware, it’s the coating on the chocolate chips that will cause the recipe to fail. You’ll need to use a bar chocolate that you chop for a fail proof recipe every time. Or those larger baking pieces that have much less - no coating.
Happy chocolate mousse making everyone!

Me: Uh-oh.

I love that you include the trial and error parts in your videos. It actually helps so much especially when we all go through that and not enough videos out there share the reality of trying new recipes

😂 I wonder if British people randomly break out in American accents like we do

Your joyful excitement when something comes together always makes me smile, but this time, even now as i write, it has me grinning from ear to ear. Aside from showing us how best to succeed with this recipe, you've warmed my heart with your exuberant spirit. Thanks muchly, peace & love from Montréal, Québec.

Never would have thought a two ingredient recipe would require so much effort.

[marz]

I love love love the fact that you continue to label background items even in the new filming kitchen!

[rinsuu]

Ok but imagine how amazing this would be made with hot coffee instead of water <3

RIP to the first two bags of chocolate chips

I appreciate you doing these trials. It saves me so much money, effort, and time. Plus you put such a cute addition on to everything. Thanks Emmy!

So happy you posted this! I had COVID in June and it pretty much ruined me financially. I could definitely afford to make this dessert, I’m so excited!

[christianzegroot]

Your reaction and excitement when you got it right was ICONIC!! I was excited for you.

Emmy’s voice is so soothing and calming.
I love that it’s very pleasant to hear her talk.

I know they say not to use an electric whisk because its easier to feel when to let it go. But im positive you could get it done with less effort and probably quicker with one set to low power. Nice video :)

While watching Emmy I suddenly thought of something that just seemed so obvious. The best collaboration ever could be Emmy and Tabitha Brown. I would die

It was great of you to show the whole process! I wonder if it’s the lower amount of cocoa butter in the chips (so they retain their shape) vs the couverture premium chocolate causing it not to work. I believe it might have made it harder for the fat to crystallize in a way that allows it to stiffen. I also saw a video in which the recipe didn’t work for milk and white chocolate, and the chips you used contain milk solids, so I would consider that as well.
