@@mariumkanchwala5078 Hi Marium, you could using a variety of different pouring creams and see which consistency you prefer. We would suggest staying away from whip cream.

[@wildfiretraining4764]

1. I made the recipe and it was fabulous! I used 75% cacao chocolate (Callebaut) and a little less sugar and it was still plenty sweet. (2) This fellow's presentation makes for pleasant watching. I love listening to his accent and watching him. He clearly cares a lot about teaching in a way that is helpful. He covers all the things NOT to do as well as to do. I suspect he's done a fair amount of in-person teaching. (3) As others said, no music, no strange camera shots, nothing extraneous to just good learning. I could watch him all day! I'm sorry to see he's stopped making videos. Thank you, Mr. FrenchApprentice, you are appreciated!

[@layyaali]

i love how he does not waste any of the remaining ingredients in the different bowls and scrape them, till there are almost squeky clean :) great recipe! merci

[@fran9250]

That is the sign of a true professional! no waste. Merci! :)

[@VadiseDeHanyou]

Same here. I don't like it when the cook doesn't scrape the bowl clean when cooking or mixing ingredients, then they put the dish in the sink. I always think 'hey there's still food in that, what are you doing?' lol

[@arnadda527]

Because he's European , Europeans don't like to waste like Americans ;)

[@daminduliyanage]

180g Couverture chocolate, 100g cream, 6 egg yolks and whites, 60g of sugar. Per person -> 30g chocolate, 15g cream, 1 egg yolk & white, 10g sugar. Couverture chocolate alternative dark chocolate above 70% coco

[@fernandomarshall4473]

Damindu Liyanage what kind of cream did he used?

[@Justme77400]

Damindu Liyanage Thank you!!! I am making this tonight.

[@simonsanchez5382]

not only dark 70% chocolate, it was Lindt chocolate from swiss

[@MAD-us6ii]

​@@fernandomarshall4473 I don't know

[@neilprague3005]

Best mousse recipe I've ever found. No lumps, no grainy bits of unmelted chocolate, and deliciously light. It's the attention to detail that makes the difference, e.g. the clear explanation of how best to melt chocolate. Merci monsieur!

[@hafsasiddiqui3705]

I love how he is not focusing on anything besides his real work, with no pretence and unnecessary presentation. Not to forget he doesn’t ask to “click the subscribe button” 😆

[@southeastern9989]

It’s really funny the fact that the little chef hanging on the wall looks exactly the same as the real chef.

[@AmeeraG242]

Haha yes it really does

[@santiagodavila1426]

Hey Chef, good to see you still teaching, long time since my apprenticeship. Best teacher

[@Motherslife756]

I love the fact he doesn’t waist any of the creme or chocolate on the bowls. Respect.

[@PrinceMGolds]

you are the only chef who spoke about details of this recipe on KZbin

[@chefchique3243]

Chocolate Mousse : 180g chocolate, 100g cream, 6 egg yolks, 6 egg whites, 100g sugar I hope this helps with a lot of ur questions. I'm a young chef & been doin these for yrs.. This is the "traditional" way of making mousse so if ur afraid with salmonela, be sure as always you use 'fresh' eggs.. and mix the eggs to the chocolate when it's hot enough to kill the bacteria. Enjoy! Merci Chef Allan! Cheers! 😊

[@chefchique3243]

60 grams of sugar i mean😊

[@TheBrianna1431]

What is that in U.S. Customary measurement?

[@crobeson77]

Yes you are right regarding using the freshest eggs possible, normally that is sufficient safe-guard against the presence of the bacteria but no garantee either. However to be sure to destroy salmonella the temperature must attain at least 49.5°c. You can take melted chocolate up to a maximum of 55°c, but definitely no further or you will have 'kaput' chocolat! Something in between is best, a precise cooking thermometer is therefore essential. And yes, this is the REAL chocolate mousse recipe, unbeatable. Bon appetit...

[@denisejuarez5974]

So what kind of cream do I need and what kind of sugar should I use.I no there.different kind to use

[@Thesyndicate11111]

chique torregosa thanks!

[@antonbabin7665]

The video is made 7 years ago and he is still liking the comments, thank you for this recipe, probably gonna try it soon

[@nenitarivera4573]

What a great video!... he just made/ taught everything in the truest way himself... in honest way. Thanks, chef... you are a good person. God bless you always!

[@EricaBalios]

Since finding this excellent recipe I have made this chocolate mousse many times. This is the best chocolate mousse with perfect results every single time!

[@insight827]

Wholeheartedly agree!

[@rbnn]

I’ve been using this recipe for years, it’s the best I’ve found here. It’s always turned out great. I tend to add an extra egg, otherwise it can get a little chocolatey for my taste, still excellent. The chef is an excellent teacher too, making things clear and easy to remember. I wish he had more videos though.

[@jp4431]

Is there a reason you don't use less chocolate instead?

[@gabrielamorenovera9077]

Do you eat the mousse right away or chill it first? Thanks!

[@rbnn]

@@gabrielamorenovera9077 you’re supposed to chill it but the batter is irresistible so I always have a bunch of unchilled batter too

[@Cchogan]

I really appreciate this programme. It is straight-forward, educational, and clear. I have been cooking for years and I am not bad at all. But when I want to learn something new, too much music and clever camera angles get in the way. This is perfect. It makes me think of La Technique and La Method - no fuss, solid cooking that gets results. Patisserie is my weak area; I will be delving deeper into your channel!

[@terecee1204]

I love the description of an electric beater.... bzzzzzz and prrrrr pouring device. Can't wait to try it.

Looooooove it.. Infact the love the tips too.. I made using this recipe and it was spot on 'perfect mousse chocolate '.. thank you sir.. You are simply the best and you happen to be our (me and my husband's) favorite teacher. Merci.. And i too love the part you don't waste anything.. :) For those of you looking for the best chocolate mousse recipe, this is 'the one and only' :) happy cooking

[@oneBshortofanitch]

I have made so many variations of chocolate mousse but THIS recipe is by far the Best. I have literally just made it and this version is like the top quality restaurants would serve. This recipe is absolutely the lightest and yet full of flavour.. Good tip about the type of chocolate being genuine dark chocolate instead of the sugar loaded style as in bars of chocolate sold in the supermarket. The dark chocolate takes on a much lighter appearance and taste without too much sweetness. I used the cream as you mentioned you could use either butter or cream. Thank you Alain so much for sharing your recipe - I wont look at any other recipe after trying this delight.

[@mimmeisinger4926]

Thank you so much for your explanation! A friend of mine, how deeply likes chocolate, will get a big bol of this beautiful receipt, for his birthday. 🎉

[@toko25]

Great video. AND I love that he takes the time to make sure he gets everything out of a bowl like when he pours the cream.

[@fadsmfawopefaw]

This is my third attempt making chocolate mousse. The first one was too thick because I melted butter with the chocolate. The second was too airy because I tried omitting egg yolks entirely (this resulted in an airy, but grainy texture because I added all the sugar at once). This one is perfect. It's silky, airy, and light. It's chocolatey, but isn't too much. It's like biting a cloud made of chocolate. Thank you so much Chef for sharing this. I can't wait to pull it out of the fridge tomorrow!!!

Im very pleased with the results. Used the Lindt 85% Chocolate. She has a very dark and not sugary taste. Dont take more sugar, even if you think the mousse ends up to dark. This is perfect, not to sweet, not to dark. Thank you for this recipe.

I make the French style Chocolate Mousse with eggs and my favorite tweaks to make it mine. I served it last Christmas for dessert. As I was eating mine I suddenly realized the only sound I could hear was the crackling fire in the fireplace. I looked up to see a room full of people cuddled up with their champagne flute of mousse savoring it as if it was something unearthly delivered straight from heaven. You know the recipe is good when it can silence grownups and children.

I learnt it in France by my Madame in the home where I lived and had dinner; fantastic food every day. Something was missing and I tried since 1987 until today in 2021, to find out why mine never got so shiny and fluffy as hers. It was the melting of the chocolate - I did it directly on the stove or with the Bain Marie too hot. I like it with butter. I will now try it with cream.
