Dark Chocolate Mousse

  • Melt dark chocolate and butter over low heat while stirring constantly until mostly melted. Remove from heat and stir until the remaining chocolate melts. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat mascarpone briefly, then slowly add in the cream while beating. Add in sugar, vanilla, and salt and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
  • 3.Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into chocolate until combined and then add in the rest of the whipped cream and fold again until combined.
  • Spread over crust and chill 20–30 minutes.

Milk Chocolate Mousse
