This recipe is easy to make, but it requires attention. Since it contains egg, you need to cook the mixture in a very low heat until it reaches the right temperature. You have to be very careful and attentive, as you don’t want the mixture to become scrambled eggs. Making this homemade chocolate mousse is absolutely worth it. I promise! If you love eating sweets, make sure to give it a try.

Make the pate au bombe. In a different pot, add the granulated sugar and 2.1 oz of heavy cream. Mix and place over heat. Let it come to a boil while stirring constantly.

Pour the mixture into the bowl of your stand mixer then whisk until light in color and fluffy.
Whip the 15.9 oz of heavy cream into a different bowl until soft peaks.
Add half of the paute au bombe to the melted chocolate and mix using a rubber spatula. Mix in the remaining.
