The simplest is always the best. This is the old french classic chocolate mousse, rich and light at the same time. Cooks in the USA can't make this particular mousse, because the risk of salmonella in eggs is higher there, but we are lucky enough elsewhere to be able to eat desserts with raw eggs in them. I'd forgotten all about this recipe until I saw it a few days ago. Thanks for posting, Grace.

I am a Chinese teenage girl who is a beginner in cooking...especially desserts. I have a really sweet tooth, and it is of course not surprising that I am a chocoholic...I cannot live a day without munching on at least one piece of chocolate!
(By the way, the combination of hazelnut praline and dark chocolate is my favourite...how about you?)
To compensate my passion for chocolate and desserts as a weight watcher, I would turn to low fat main meal ideas. (Actually the fat and sugar content of most desserts are scary enough...but as long as I am "ignorant" of the ingredients, who cares?)
I know I definitely would be enjoying my time on Zaar, with all your recipe ideas and generous help to my cooking queries...
Thanks for those who offer me help!
