Chef Frank Makes Chocolate Mousse

Published 2024-03-09
I forget how much I love chocolate mousse. I haven't made it in a while, but have been really craving since we had it on a recent vacation. Believe it or not this is a dessert that is easy to make. A little technique & good ingredients make all the difference.

    Hey Chef Frank, thank you for posting this recipe and the walk through. I made it and it was delicious. I used it as a layer in a trifle that had lemon cake and raspberry curd. The intense dark chocolate helped balance the sweet tanginess of the cake and curd. Appreciate you!

    will be binging your recipes for Ramadan iftar 😍
  • A simple and easy-to-follow demonstration, as always, @ProtoCookswithChefFrank!!! 💜💜💜 Looking forward to topping this with a whipped mascarpone cream and a pile of fresh strawberries, which are abundant here right now. 😋😋😋
  • @jilliemc
    I made this for dessert on Easter Sunday. It was a smash hit! I made whipped cream to go on top, added some chocolate curls and colorful sprinkles for decoration. So yummy!
  • Ooooh I'm very much looking forward to watching this later! Thank you, Frank. My mom used to make mousse au chocolat for special occasions, beautiful memories.
  • @VulcanLogic
    It's good to see your channel growing, Frank. You do good work.
  • @Saint.Monica
    My kiddos and I refer to you as "Uncle Frank". Thanks for another great recipe, "Uncle Frank". Your pancake recipe is still our number 1 go-to recipe. I copied the recipe directly from your video; when someone asks about the recipe; I tell them, "it's "Uncle Frank's" recipe." 🥞🥓🍳

    Thank You for sharing this! I'll try making this ❤️
  • @iris-christina
    Surprised you made it with heavy cream, I do it the „italian“ way only eggs, sugar, chocolate and a bit of water. I like both ways but with only eggs i think it’s richer and I can barely eat more than one portion with heavy cream I always overeat 😂 love your way of presenting and joy of cooking 🥰💪🏻 keep going!
  • @Caulkhead
    Hey Chef, thanks for the recipe and video, I was literally thinking to myself today how to make chocolate mousse, so right on time with this one!
  • @niko1even
    I love mousse and haven't made it in a while, perfect timing!
  • @poulthomas469
    One of the first things I made when I started learning to cook while in college.
  • @rudolfpunt3286
    I usually use whipped cream for my mousse, not egg whites

    At 7:05, that's what we call "Opferschnee" (scarificial snow) in German. :)
  • When I melt chocolate, I put in the frig and then grate it using the large holes on a box grater. Melts really fast.
  • @SilverPanic85
    You should link a video to you making vanilla extract.
  • @stormtrooper74
    I legit made boxed chocolate mousse for a cake yesterday. You’re a day late with this video!! 😂🤣
  • @wallygabreal3053
    I think we we can pour it on a pie crust then add whipped cream then get a mouse pie !!!
