In reply to Carolyn.

I have messed up on the chocolate mousse twice. The first time was perfect except for the second and third time.

I’ve researched online that it’s best to use 60% chocolate rather than 70%. I have been using 70% because I like darker chocolate but every time I do the Bain Marie, it kept seizing up! No extra water on my spatula or ingredients (all weighed by the kitchen scale) and I keep getting a seized up chocolate, butter, and water combination. But it seems that it’s the chocolate percentage.

Hi Michele,

It would work and I would add a bit of gelatin for insurance. It will also depend on how thick of a layer you intend to use. Just for security and so that it holds its shape well, I would use some.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi,
Delicious!!!
Wondering if this mousse recipe will work in a jelly roll? Also, if so, should I add gelatin?
I have the Zoe bakes cakes recipe book but there isn’t a chocolate mousse recipe.

Carolyn, great question! Since this is Fanny Lam’s recipe, Zoe used her language, but the chocolate Zoe uses is bittersweet. Happy baking!

What kind of dark chocolate? Bittersweet, unsweetened, semi-sweet? Please help!

I have made this several times (both as the whole cake and just the mousse). My family/guests have loved it every time. Sometimes I make a raspberry mousse to decorate the top.

I made this last New Year’s and it was such a hit! I followed the instructions in the video and it came out perfectly. Elegant and so divinely delicious! I’m making it again this Christmas to share with more friends! Thank you for sharing your baking gift!
