The mousse chocolate is a dessert that I love. In my grandmother's House was not missing (she was an exceptional Cook, as well as a woman ahead of her time in many aspects), and even when my grandfather died, she decided to stop cooking, my mother and my aunt continued the tradition. I remember as if it were yesterday and when I was little and my mother prepared it every Christmas for a family meal that all tend to have those days. A lot of egg shells in the countertop in the kitchen, a delicious chocolate smell and already not I needed more to hear the electric mixer to know that what was cooking was this chocolate mousse.

It is a recipe that is very simple, and the few that I is memory with only four ingredients: the quantity of eggs that you want to use, half their weight in chocolate, sugar and butter. Nothing more.

This has always been one of the favorite family recipes. Does cream, butter, which helps the egg whites which is very common in the modern mousses, and instead leads to not download and endure perfect up to 3 days in the fridge. It is a very easy recipe (for this reason there is no step by step) that you'll love. Sweet and soft with a delicious taste of chocolate. You want to repeat it again and again. I am sure!
