Chocolate Mousse Recipe

How are you since last week? I hope you had time to bake some fresh figs!

I am sharing with you today a classic French recipe given by my grand mother. She told me that she was 18 years old when she made this chocolate mousse for the first time. She was in the kitchen of her grand mother with one of the best pastry chef of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. She sent me by snail mail this recipe few months ago already translated in English. She had the chance to live in the USA during 3 years, that’s why she speaks the Language of Shakespeare. This is not common for French people of that age! So Merci Mamie for this amazing chocolate mousse recipe!
