It took me three years into the project to work up the courage to finally make this, and while it takes some time to pull together, it’s much easier than expected!

Dessert
Ina’s Chocolate Mousse
This indulgent treat is dessert perfection. The recipe combines two types of chocolate, melted with cognac and Grand Marnier, then blended with butter and thick, luscious whipped egg yolks. Folded-in whipped egg whites and cream provide a light-as-air texture for the mousse. The results are simultaneously rich and chocolatey, yet light and pillowy.
