Brenda’s tips:
Serving size: 8 (4 oz) servings
*You can use the double boiler method to melt the marshmallows, chocolate, and heavy cream together instead of a microwave, if desired
**It’s impossible to require you to wait two full hours . . . this is delicious even if you can’t wait until chilled
Love mousse but prefer a sweeter, mellower chocolate intensity? When preparing the whipped cream, increase the amounts as follows:
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
