The French clearly reign surprise when it comes to chocolate mousse. šÆ Whipped egg whites are folded into the batter creating a cloud-like texture that is *even lighter* than what youāre likely familiar with if youāre from the States.
This recipe is pure chocolate decadence. š I highly recommend serving it with a drizzle of a nice extra virgin olive oil and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt for maximum enjoyment!
