  1. There are probably the best for the taste since all French pastry chefs make them this way. The problem with those kinds of mousses is that it's not very safe because it uses raw eggs.

  2. If you're looking for another chocolate mousse recipe for variety and comparison, be sure to follow this video to the end for the link to my translation of Philippe Conticini's recipe (also here: https://youtu.be/y-A4g5Y301c). My goal in the comments section is to build a community of chocolate lovers who share tips, experiences, and ideas. Have you tried the recipe in the video? Do you have a different approach or technique? Feel free to discuss, ask questions, and help each other keep learning. Thank you! —Chef Zach
