Frequently Asked Questions
What is chocolate mousse typically made of?
Traditional chocolate mousse is made with chocolate, sugar, cream, eggs and butter. However, since this chocolate is already sweetened we did not have to add any sugar. Nor do we add eggs or butter in this recipe.
What is the difference between Chocolate Pudding and Chocolate Mousse?
Pudding is made by heating up the milk and adding cornstarch to thicken it. Mousse is lighter and creamier than pudding due to the whisked air from the heavy cream.
