Liana you could make these a few days in advance. If you are concerned about presentation – I found the milk chocolate mousse didn’t set as nice in the fridge as the bittersweet (it is much softer) so I put them in the freezer for a bit then unmolded them and placed them back in the fridge to chill until ready to serve. If you place them in the fridge after freezing without unmolding it will be harder to unmold because the mousse will soften again. Don’t laugh but these little babies are so irresistible I froze half the batch because I knew I would continue to eat them. In fact I just pulled one out to enjoy, placed in fridge for about 25 minutes and it tastes like I just made them fresh. I also realized it would make a great frozen dessert if I swapped out the bottom layer and added a white chocolate mousse layer to it instead. I also realized if I wanted I could make the dessert a week in advance and then freeze them and I could then remove them from the freezer the afternoon of my dinner party, unmold and then chill until ready to serve. The mousse remained pillow soft. Make sure it is an airtight container.

These make the two layer I served in a rectangle on the weekend look positively dull! Although the leftovers are even better 2 days later. How far in advance could I make these? Can you use any type of tape for the collars? Thks

Gracie you are on FIRE! You don’t know how thrilled I am that you’re obsessed/passionate about desserts. Your recipes and pictures are such a treat. It’s a visual and culinary lesson all rolled into one. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Absolutely gorgeous!!!

So elegant and delicious looking. I’ve been inspired to make a chocolate mousse I learned to make when I used to live in France. I have to admit, it is really easy and nothing as spectacular as this. I love your presentation. Congratulations on making Foodbuzz’s Top 9. Kudos to you Gracie.

Emilia make sure not to miss the step “putting the mousses through the sieve” – they came on so smooth.

Your chocolate mousse cakes look so beautiful. I am a sucker for mousses in general, but the chocolate ones are definitely on top of my list. Can’t wait to try your recipe as well.
