Delicious thanks for the recipe 😋 brought my daughter in law your natural indulgence which I love, and getting for my daughter as well, you are wonderful, at 62 and a foodie plus Cook you impress me always 💞
Thank you so much for this great recipe. Reading your words beforehand really hit home for me; I’m having a ‘flat’ day myself today. Times like these it’s very hard to focus on the good stuff and luckily it’s an unusual state-of-being for me to be in. Perhaps I will wake up tomorrow, make your chocolate mousse, eat it for breakfast and things will seem a little better 🙂
I love your honesty!!! Great recipes too, but the fact that you’re so real makes your posts so appealing!!!
Thank you so much Nikki!! I really appreciate this. I am glad you are enjoying the site. Many thanks, Bianca

“Mousse au chocolat” and Love are definitely close siblings 😉
A “Chocolate Mousse” Poem by Gothchild:
Deliciously ravishing
like a long lost lover
pouring sweetness all over my lips
roughly tracing my shoulders in tight embraces
garnished with your deep eyes spelt “amour”
As your rational gaze
lovingly dissect my infinite ideas:
passionate intellect shrugged off into relished visions
I made this yesterday – oh wow! It’s now the only choc mousse recipe I will ever use. Yummo!
Thank you Judy, I am glad you liked it. I really appreciate you taking the time to write. Many thanks, Bianca
Thanks for sharing. Love your writing as well as your great recipes. Tess
Thank you Tess, I really appreciate your message. I am glad you are enjoying it. xx
Made this today, my kids loved it! Do you think this could be frozen?
I think you could try it. I would love to hear how it tastes frozen! Be sure to let me know. I am glad you liked it. xx
I see this recipe on the weekend my husband has finally decided to get his diabetes under control. It is a cruel world, I will have to save it for another less health emergency moment.
Hopefully you will find something on the suit that appeals to you both. xx
I think I’m having a flat few months. Great read and really helped my understand I really need to make chocolate mousse!!
Thank you. I hope you like the recipe. xx
I really love and enjoy making food for my family from your simple, nutritious
and delicious recipes! Just wondering if you think coconut cream could be used instead of the cream? I think I will try and let you know if you haven’t done it before. I would also like to change the maple syrup to rice syrup…..do you think this should be OK also. I truly hope that the mousse works and that it brings you much happiness and laughter to the night.x
Hi Tracy, I would love to hear how you go if you try this out!! Many thanks, Bianca
This recipe sounds fantastic! You are using the whole egg, correct, not just the whites? Sorry, I want to clarify. I’m going to give this a go using the cream from refrigerated canned coconut milk as I cannot have the dairy, but I think it will work. Thanks!!
Hi Ginger, yes I use the whole egg. I look forward to hearing how you go with the coconut cream, I have been wanting to try this myself. I hope it works out well for you. Many thanks, Bianca
I’m keen to try this, but curious to know whether this might work with coconut cream? Only one way to find out 🙂
This was the sweetest most inspiring message I’ve heard in a long time <3
Thank you Sue, that is very kind. xx
Hi! I just made this tonight and wondered how many hours you usually have it in the fridge before taking it out?
Hi Louise, I hope you liked it. We usually give it around four hours or more.
Hi I’ve tried to make this twice with coconut cream. I’m just wondering – my egg mixture is really runny, should it be? Looks bubbly?

For those of you wondering, using coconut cream works wonderfully! I used the cream from one can of coconut milk, added some cocoa powder, and increased the chocolate slightly and there was no coconut taste! I don’t mind coconut in some treats but otherwise can’t stand it. So I find letting any dish with coconut milk in it sit at least 24 hrs, the flavors come together better and the coconut isn’t as strong. Delicious recipe thank you!
This is really helpful feedback. Thank you Anna! I am glad you have enjoyed it. x
Bianca, do you use thickened cream or pouring (thin) cream for this recipe ? Wondering if it would make a difference to the outcome …
Thanks, Belinda
I use thickened cream, I hope you like it. x
Bianca, you and your husband are still in sync, you both just go down together
You are spot on!!!! Thank you so much for writing. Worry not, I cook my way through just about everything. xx
Hello Bianca,
I’m just trying to make this and believe me I’m having a problem. When I try to gently fold the chocolate into the egg mixture, the chocolate is becoming little pieces instead combine with the eggs mixture. I did twice now and same problem. Please help =) Thank you
HI Barbara, I think I may have replied to your email? I suggest leaving the eggs out of the fridge and ensuring the chocolate isn’t to hot. If the eggs are very cold they will set the melted choc, hence the little pieces. I hope this helps. Bianca. x
This is divine! … but too easy to make! This means I can quickly whip it up whenever I like & more than likely, devour it all by myself!
This made me laugh. Thank you Em, I am glad you like it. x
Can you use something other then maple syrup?
I’m going to try with Yacon Syrup! But I think any sweetener would work 🙂
Yes, honey or rice malt will also work.
The whole eggs not just whites?
Yes. x
Hi bianca, have you tried this using the Thermomix? If so how?
And how dark is the chocolate you use? I’m thinking of making it with 70% cacao
I have not made his in a thermomix sorry. The percentage of cocoa I use depends who I am making it for, friends and family love it with the 70%, I like mine a little stronger. I hope that helps.
Just made this recipe. Oh my hat! It is amazing and so easy. Thanks I needed a quick pud for my dinner party but this one is going to be yummly! 😉
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate the feedback. x
[…] many of you know my husband loves chocolate mousse. His all time favourite recipe being this one. However, sometimes I don’t have the time, energy or ingredients to whip it up. So this is […]
I have made this today and just waiting for it to set! so far its looking like it will set nicely, no mousse iv ever made has ever set for me!! doesn’t look at all like the picture though… i didn’t want to over mix so there is still white streaks through it. It tastes fantastic! all i had was molasses to use though so its extra rich! lucky its xmas… 😀 thank you so much! next time ill make it with RMS
Thank you. I hope you enjoyed it. x
I don’t understand how anyone could feel safe eating a raw egg mixture, especially putting it in the refrigerator with sugar. I’m worried this could be a salmonella or other bacteria nightmare. Certainly, no professionally run kitchen could serve this. Completely against the laws of kitchen hygiene and food safety. I’m sure it’s delicious though.
If you have good, fresh eggs then it’s not an issue. But it’s pretty simple really, if you don’t like it don’t eat it!
Does that mean you never eat Chocolate mousse, tiramisu or real mayonnaise? You are missing out, I agree with Rebecca. Thanks Bianca, it looks delish 🙂
Thank you Julie. x
Professionally run kitchens make their own mayonnaise all the time – – not from a jar or a packet, but from real eggs!! I suggest some research is in order!
Raw egg is a health hazard, and people can get very sick or even die . People need to be aware of the risks and not feed it to children or immune compromised people.
Yes, if you use non organic eggs. Sick eggs come from sick chickens in poorly cared for Corporate Farms. No other country but the USA washes and then refrigerates eggs, it’s all the BS control. Washing the eggs takes off the natural anti-bacterial/viral protection from the chicken. Same for chicken, ducks or quail…
Great recipe! I also used 70% cocoa chocolate. Ran out of maple syrup so ended up using half maple half golden syrup and tasted great. You could easily serve 6 or 8 people with this amount, for me serving it between 4 was too much.
Perfect!! Thank you. xx
[…] I promise to make you Chocolate Mousse. […]
The mousse sounds delicious, but what I love even more is your story. Real food embedded in real life, not low cal, sugar-free, sanitised or perfect (well the mousse might be!), but real and wholesome. Thank you for sharing your realness, it encouraged me that our moments like that are ok too.
Thank YOU! I appreciate you taking the time to read my words. xxx
How do I find out the nutritional info of your recipes? Thanks
I don’t have that anywhere sorry. x
Each time I make this it turns out a little different, but always delicious. I made it recently for my mum and sisters joint birthday and it was gobbled up within minutes so yesterday I made one just for us at home, hopefully it lasts a few days although I doubt it ????
That is great to hear. Thank you. x
Bianca,
I, too enjoyed your poignant writing. After almost 54 years of marriage, we still go through those episodes. The longer the union of two, the more you are tested through the trials and triumphs of living.
My husband and I are childhood sweethearts, which sometimes poses other types of issues, because we have known each for so long, through the thick and thin of so many familial passages, celebrations, and memories of all sorts…good and sad.
We share a deep, abiding faith, which is the mainstay and core of our togetherness, even in the separateness of mood moments, illness, and other situations that pop up when one is connected on many levels to family, friends, and various communities.
I have found one of the best ways to alleviate those moments in time is to cook, bake, and then entertain
friends and family…sharing a meal, time, and conversation keeps you in the fray of life in themost
wonderful way. Because it takes you out of yourself into a new perspective of sharing and caring. It was delight to our spirit today to entertain cherished friends from grammar school through high school and beyond…a truly wonderful Sunday, for which I give thanks!
I will have to try your recipe. I made cheesecake brownies, which were a hit!
All best,
Rosanne
Thank YOU so much for your lovely message, I really appreciate you taking the time to write and sharing your wisdom! Cooking does take us out of ourselves and I completely agree that often this alone is what we need.
If you try out the recipe I would love to hear what you think. Thanks again, Bianca. xxxx
Do you cook this? with eggs I would think it needs to be cooked. Help? thanks
Hey Bianca,
Just thought of dropping a note to say that you have a wonderful blog. We enjoyed reading some of your delicious recipes. Keep up the amazing work. We look forward to keep dropping over again and reading your blogs.
