Answer 1

Creamiest Chocolate Mousse

7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
7 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch salt
7 egg white
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon kirschwasser (optional)

Place chocolate in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until mostly melted, then remove from heat, and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to medium stiff peaks, but do not allow it to become grainy. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the sugar, and continue whipping to medium stiff peaks. Fold in egg yolks and kirshwasser.
Fold in the melted chocolate until completely incorporated, then fold in whipped cream until evenly blended. Spoon into dessert cups, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Answer 3

This is not an "authentic" recipe as mousse recipes generally go (raw egg whites, etc), but it is REALLY good. Try it and see what you think.

Chocolate Mousse

1 (14 oz. can) sweetened condensed milk
2 (1 oz. ) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
½ cup cold water
1 (4 serving size) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup whipping cream, stiffly whipped

Prepare and bake two 9” chocolate cake layers according to package directions on cake mix box.

In a large bowl, beat sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate until well blended. Gradually beat in water and pudding mix until smooth. Fold in whipped cream. Chill at least 1 hour.

This can be served as-is for dessert, used to frost cakes, or layered in trifles.
