    We made it for Valentines Day. It was great.
    My notes for the next time:
    - Use less orange zest
    - When combining cream with chocolate egg mixture, be VERY thoroughly with the first spoon. ONLY THEN you can remove the lumps.
    - Beat egg whites and cream more than medium soft peaks -> it was fluffy, but you couldn't see the individual bubbles in the mouse
    - Make it 24h BEVORE serving. The ones we ate the next day had much smoother taste

    One thing I like about the French, is that they have an enormous amount of pride in things that pertain to their culture. They have a great attention to detail and they love to pass it on and they explain very well. I especially like watching documentaries on architectural restoration for this reason. This mousse looks heavenly especially with the Kahlua and Grand Marnier. Delicieux!

    I think I’m addicted to Chef Jean-Pierre. I can watch recipe after recipe just for the fun of it.
    I dislike cooking and barely ever cook anymore.
    So my reason for this addiction:
    1) his knowledge
    2) humor
    3) his sense of cleanliness
    4) really easy style of teaching
    Amazing chef and probably the BEST teacher on UA-cam.
    Many ppl can cook amazing meals but communication skills leave a lot to be desired.

    i made this last night and it was really good after chilling in the fridge for several hours to let it set up well. i didn’t use any alcohol just 4oz orange juice because i didn’t have any on hand. the orange zest makes it taste really refreshing, but I also whipped the heavy cream and the egg white mixture to more of stiffer peak than what you did so I think it is a little more voluminous and very carefully folded it in which I think helps it taste “lighter”. It made a huge bowl of mousse.

    I made this today and discovered that it is absolutely delicious. However, a small warning to others who do not regularly partake of alcohol, cooking the zabaglion does not nescesarily cook off all of the alcohol. The deliciousness of this led to me sitting on the floor of the kitchen with giant bowl of mousse mildly intoxicated half an hour before going to work.

I would come in on days and nites off and work for free. One of the first recipes Chef Kim taught me almost exactly just what you prepared. I have never had anything better!!! Old now, but will attempt this again!!! Then we went on to processing meats, and more. The other memorable desert was his version of NY cheese cake, which I have forgotten.

I put the mousse in little pots and freezed the 2/3 of it. Works just fine... I take off one from the freezer (put in the frige) the night before I consume it... and still perfect. I used cacao licor with Godiva licor, and a bit of Rum Baccard. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. Blessings

    thank you for posting this recipe! as you mentioned, most chocolate mousse recipes on the internet aren't correct in one way or another, and as someone who is not a professional, it can be frustrating to stumble across recipe after recipe created by 'home cooks' who really are not sharing the correct techniques and ingredients sometimes. there are so many strange and incorrect mousse recipes floating around - recipes where the egg yolk mixture isn't cooked, recipes where the egg yolk mixture isn't flavored at all (nothing but melted chocolate and egg yolks), recipes where the egg yolk mixture is cooked but the technique is incorrect leading to semi-scrambled eggs, recipes where there is no meringue, recipes where there is no whipped cream - just so many incorrect and/or not ideal recipes out there for chocolate mousse. and there aren't many professional chefs on the internet willing to teach! so thanks again for taking the time to upload a correct and complete recipe. I can't wait to make these for Christmas Eve 🎄🎀✨

      I was a little confused. He seems like he makes 2 batches of whipped cream. One with stiff peaks and one with soft peaks and then says he used 1 1/2 cups to make the topping. So is the topping from the fist batch or did he really make 3 batches?

    I lived in Aix-En-Provence 4 months in 1987 and the Madame in the family made a shiny, fluffy mousse au chocolat that I could never get as good. She explained to me how to do. It turns out good though. The difference is: a bit of butter in the chocolate, the sugar inside the chocolate, no whipped cream or cream, only egg whites. A tbs of rhum in the chocolate, not in the egg yolks. Egg yolks raw, not over fire. She did not say that but who knows, maybe she did. Her mousse was much darker, all shiny and incredibly fluffy, SO tasty. Now I will try it with cooking also the egg yolks, but I don't think I like it with cream. Thanks for the exact procedures and explanations. I like that.

    Followed the recipe exactly. I got RAVE reviews! I've also done the Creme Caramel. It turned out OUTSTANDING! Additionally, the Brussels Sprouts with bacon and maple syrup was SUPERB!
    1. On the written version of the Mousse recipe you indicate 1/4 + 1/4 of powdered sugar. The written version says that, but lists the 1/4 + 1/4 of powdered sugar and then 1/2 cup of sugar as the last ingredient on the list. 2. You list a 1/4 cup of one of the alcohols and 2 ozs of the other. 1/4 cup is 2 ozs. To be more consistent either list them both as 1/4 cup or 2 ozs.

    Hi Pierre, the recipe is wonderful, I never tried it because I thought it was too difficult. But I got it right with your explanation. (ok I had a few lumps because the yolk got a little too hot). But no one noticed, everyone asked for more. Thank you so much for that!

    I still dream about the chocolate mousse I had in Lille France when I was a foreign exchange student over there! I have never found mousse like that here in the US. I’m excited to make this🤗 Also had the best plain white yogurt in France, was similar to Greek yogurt but better. Oh and also French home made mayonnaise I had at my friends grandma’s house! Her mayonnaise is the best I’ve ever had ❤
