Helpful tips

Although I don't add whipped cream on top of the mousse when I serve it, feel free to add a dollop on top. You can also shave some chocolate on top of the whipped cream for a touch of color.
I use 60% cocao Ghirardelli chips but you can use semisweet chocolate chips instead.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can add an inch or two of water to a small saucepan, heat it on medium heat and place a glass bowl on top. Add the chocolate and butter and stir until melted. You can also use a microwave to melt the chocolate and butter.
