    I like how your style is still geared towards people who might be new to cooking. When you mentioned replacing a spatula I first thought to myself, who doesn't have one of those? It made me remember watching your videos many years ago when I first started getting into cooking, I didn't have many tools back then either. You're a legend in our house.

    Your voice makes listening to these newer, longer productions enjoyable. I started watching a lot of YT about 4 years ago, when 5 minutes seemed normal for a quality presentation, tho I was watching mainly programming tutorials. I remember the comments when 8+ minutes was recommended. Now everything I watch wants to be 13 to 20 minutes, kind of like a sitcom, I imagine. Thanks!

    This recipe is delicious. I have made it twice this week. I beat the eggs in a bowl over simmering water. It makes the egg mixture very light and frothy and doesn’t take long to get to temperature. I’d love the same method to make a lemon mousse, please. It is so delicious.

I appreciate how you break down each step and offer alternatives for different flavor variations. The end result is truly outstanding - rich, creamy, and utterly indulgent.

    Thanks for the recipe. I made some mousse a few weeks ago, while good, I thought it was way too sweet. It used twice the eggs and chocolate of your recipe, but used 1 1/3 cup sugar. Even halving that, it would still be 10 times the amount of sugar of your recipe. I am looking forward to trying your version.

    You must have read my mind! I attempted to make a tuxedo cake last week and bombed on the chocolate mousse. The white chocolate mouse was perfect, but not dark. This recipe is much easier than the one I tried. My cake fell apart as it wouldn't set, but we ate it anyway! The leaning tuxedo cake of Canada lol, one we will not forget. Thanks for the video; I am inspired to try again!

    Chocolate and raspberry always marry well together. I have made this quite a few times and I prefer it over chocolate pudding. It has that silky indulgent flavor. I have to double the batch because 4 servings is not enough for my husband and I. We each have 2 servings and the same for the next day. It is a simple recipe that is so rewarding. They taste better than the Costco mousse pots that come in little 5 ounce glass containers, which I have saved to reuse at many gatherings. They sell for $14. For 6 pots. This is definitely cheaper and tastes better.

    This is one of my favorite desserts in attempt many good times.
    A tip to share for it to stabilize in warm climate would be in a day advance, add 2 teaspoons of gelatin/agar-agar powder with 1 Tbsp water as mixed till incorporated, prepare 250 ml heavy or all purpose cream in a cold saucepan and add the hydrated gelatin and stir on a low flame till said gelatin dissolve (carefully not to burn the cream, remove from the heat when bout simmer), keep stirring even outside the stove till cool or forms a jelly skin the set in the freezer overnight. This should look like pudding the next day and whip it away as the following recipe goes.
    Hopes this helps, not an expert, just good at dessert making.

    Nice one Chef John, as usual, but far from easy for "beginners", who my set the house on fire at that one step. LOL. But experts maybe. So, when I was a young and singe lad in the late 70's I made an easy one that came from some article in a magazine at the time (People?) can't remember. It was basically to blend a packet of unflavored gelatin, some cocoa power, sugar, and heavy cream until thickened and refrigerate. It worked like a charm for "Date Nights" LOL. Best part, no mucking around like this one with melting block chocolate, cooking eggs, and open flames, towel in hand (maybe soak it first?); surely a prescription for disaster for "beginners", of which I was definitely a rank one in the 70's, cooking wise. Again, good for experienced cooks.
    Speaking of that time, there were a lot of "cheeky takes" on the "environmental" bumper stickers going around then, being shortly after the time of "Earth Day" (1972, I think) and all You'd see ones such as "Save the Whales, Collect the Whole Set", but my favorite was "Save the Chocolate Moose", topically speaking for this vid!!

      It's usually better to use unsalted so that you can better control how salty your dessert is, but it's not the end of the world. In this case, you can taste as you go and adjust since you're using cooked eggs anyway!
      Edit: I just checked the recipe page, and it says to use unsalted.
