Anniep59's chocolate mousse (with changes)
Hey guys! In a previous post, Anniep59 provided a chocolate mousse recipe. I asked about amending it and she told me to go ahead and update her on my resuts. I loved it with my changes, but I am not a gourmet by any stretch so I can't promise you'll like it (YTMV - your taste may vary ). I've put my changes in parens after the affected item.
Annie - thanks so much for this amazing recipe!
