![]() You choose! There are hybrids of many that exist. I have tried many many recipes, from Pierre Hermé’s Mousse au chocolat au lait citron/gingembre (milk chocolate with ginger and lemon) (from Plaisirs sucrés) to my mum’s until I settled for those two I am going to suggest here, one with egg yolks, one without. How easy is it to make mousse au chocolat? The use of white eggs is definitely helping to create this texture. Mousse, in French, means “ foam“, hence the idea that the preparation is light. ![]() I actually love to eat it very very slowly! Can you live without mousse au chocolat? Of course you can if you just do not like chocolate, but if you do, just like I do, mousse au chocolat is just like bringing sunshine in your body! It feels so good! Every mouthful is slowly appreciated. Every country, every chef, every family probably has a favorite recipe and memories attached to it. Mousse au chocolat is such a classic dessert that I just do not think there is any need for me to introduce this dish to you. Some people drink coffee, and I eat chocolate! C’est mon plaisir à moi! (It is my pleasure!) Back when I lived in New Zealand, my friend Tina accused me of having turned her into a chocolate addict because I always had dark chocolate with me. If I tell you that I do not go anywhere without a piece of dark chocolate in my bag, do you believe me? Yes, it is as sinful as I am. We are not angels, and a sin like this is fully forgiven! And I know we all have a péché mignon! If you told me you don’t, well, I don’t think I would believe it. I would say, because I love chocolate and cannot resist it, it is my péché mignon, my weakness so to speak. How would you like to be the victim of a cute sin? Do we think that such things exist? Mais que oui, when it comes to food, tout est possible! (everything is possible!) Eating too much of one thing is a sin? No no, it is a cute sin, un péché mignon! In other words, when you have a péché mignon, this means that you cannot resist that particular devilish food and just indulge in it. Yes yes, that exact same word you use if you said of a girl, a baby, a cat, your hubbie she is cute! ( elle est mignonne!) So you could simply say cute sin. I have always tried to find the exact English translation for this French expression, yet I never came close to what it really means in French.
