I louve (in my South Indian accent)......Chocolate mousse....I can actually get high on it (serious....... I act mad......laugh my ass out......and get tipsy) But I have to tell you.....I am a coward when it comes to making Chocolate mousse with eggs at home....I mean...I can have Mousse (with eggs) in any restaurant.....but I will never attempt it at home...I think its because of the fact that I do not trust myself with raw eggs.....its like "the raw egg syndrome'....I am never sure about how fresh the eggs are....maybe if a chicken lays an egg right in front of my eyes........THEN..... I might consider making mousse with those eggs (which I doubt is gonna happen anytime).....That is why I prefer sticking to different versions of Egg less chocolate mousse.

Nigella's Chocolate Mousse  with marshmallows .....is hands down.....heavenly.....like I have mentioned in the post ...'I died and went ...
