Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Mousse

Prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl halfway with ice and water.
Melt the chocolate by breaking it into small pieces in a separate bowl, then pour hot coffee or tea over it and stir gently.
Cool the chocolate mixture by placing the bowl over the ice bath, stirring gently for about 5 minutes.
Whip the cooled chocolate mixture vigorously using a whisk or hand mixer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Achieve a light and fluffy consistency by continuing to whisk until the mousse looks airy and voluminous.
Serve the mousse in pudding cups or bowls; enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. Avoid water contact with chocolate while melting to prevent seizing. Chill properly for the right texture.
