Mousse Chocolat- French Chocolate Mousse

This is a surprisingly easy recipe for recreating the iconic French chocolate mousse in all its lushness. The most difficult part is having to wait for it to chill and meld overnight before serving...if that's even possible.

Instructions

Melt melt chocolate into cream, stirring, until boiling. Quickly remove from heat to let cool for an hour.
With a whisk or the whipping attachment in a stand mixer, whip chocolate-cream mixture until stiff. Refrigerate overnight.
To serve, mix in rum and either spoon or pipe into glasses. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and, if you're feeling it, top with whipped cream and possibly chocolate shavings.

Notes

Be careful not to whip the cooled cream-chocolate to stiff as it will become too hard overnight in the refrigerator. No loss of flavor but wrong texture.
