TRADITIONAL FRENCH RECIPE: This simple yet intense chocolate mousse recipe has been a hit with home cooks in America all over the world at least since the Food Exposition held at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1892 published the first international recipe for Chocolate Mouse.
The Boston Daily Globe of 1897 too published one of the first recipes for chocolate mousse. The recipe yielded a chocolate pudding-type dish, instead of today's stiff, but fluffy, mousse.
This recipe add an extra portion of Chocolate and introduces the cream, normally not used in the traditional french Chocolate Mousse.
