Chocolate Mousse without eggs

Chocolate Mousse without eggs | Video Recipe | Step by step procedure with pictures

Mousse is a yummy and delightful dessert. It is velvety soft with an airy texture which makes you drooling. Mousse might have different consistency, texture and taste according to the ingredients used and also the ratio of the ingredients used. You can prepare mousse using whole eggs or egg whites or no eggs. Some might add little water to make it, even lighter. Each one have unique taste and consistency.

Other things that affects the consistency of mousse is the quality of chocolate(% of cocoa) and cream. Chocolates with higher percentage of cocoa gives you slightly dense mousse. Today I prefer to make chocolate mousse without using eggs.
