Thanks to a French gastronomer’s genius technique, this dessert is as simple as it gets.
Thats why I was so intrigued when I recently sawEpicuriousshare a recipe for a one-ingredient chocolate mousse.

Place nine ounces ofchocolatechips, chunks, or a chopped bar into a medium bowl.
Boil 3/4 cup of waterI microwaved it in a glass measuring cupand pour it over the chocolate.

Set the bowl with the melted chocolate inside a slightly larger bowl filled with ice water.
double-check the ice water does not overflow or splash into the chocolate.
Working quickly, whisk the chocolate with a hand whisk until it is fluffy and light.
I think this all boils down to what kind of chocolate is used and how you serve it.
I found this to be a very rich dessert, and smaller portions are better than larger ones.
This recipe can easily serve up to six, especially since I served it with toppings.
They love sweets, and this is an easy recipe I can make for everyone all at once.
I could also easily tailor this to diabetic and heart-healthy diets ensuring no one gets left out.
