In reply to GREGORY. Hi Gregory! I would recommend the semi sweet over the milk chocolate. :)

Can I use semi-sweet or milk chocolate bars instead?

In reply to Liat. Hi Liat! You would need other adjustments and without having tried it I can't say for sure exactly how to do it. :(

This looks wonderful! Is there any way to make this with high quality cocoa powder (cacao, just one ingredient)? I have so much good cacao powder and don’t want to go buy chocolate. Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE all the recipes I have tried of yours, so far! Everything has been a hit! I do have a question about the chocolate mousse. You mentioned you could come up with a recipe for a cooked egg version of this recipe. I was wondering if you could do that. I am not comfortable eating anything with raw eggs. Thanks a bunch!!

In reply to Rosalia. Hi Rosalia! Unfortunately I do not have a good substitute for the eggs here. :(

Hi could you please let me know how to substitute the egg. My husband is going through chemo and is not allowed to eat raw eggs.
Thank you

In reply to Debbie. Hi Debbie! I haven't tried it so I can't say how it would work. I'd worry it wouldn't turn out quite the same as you would probably end up deflating it when transferring it. Let me know how it goes if you try it. :)

Can I make the mousse, store in fridge to set up, THEN put into individual serving pieces? I need to assemble the desserts in a different kitchen other than mine and don’t want to drive with martini glasses already filled with mousse! 🙂 Thank You!

In reply to Dee. Hi Dee! We haven't perfect that version just yet. In the meantime, you could try our chocolate whipped cream or chocolate pudding

In reply to Kahani. How can this mousse be made without raw eggs? No allergies but just don’t like eating raw eggs. Thanks

Can you tell me where you got your glass serving jars and what they are called? I love them.

In reply to Kristen G.. Hi Kristen! The instant coffee will work, but the flavor won't be quite as intense. It will still be good though. The couverture chocolates will work and the difference in taste/texture will be minimal. It will be ever so slightly sweeter. :)

I can’t wait to make this for Valentine’s Day! I have 3 questions:

1. Can I substitute instant coffee for espresso powder?
2. Can I use couverture chocolate (Callebaut 811) instead of the 60% Ghirardelli?
3. If I can make the chocolate sub, what texture/flavor changes should I expect from that?

Thank you!!

In reply to Kahani. Hi Kahani! I'm glad you enjoyed it! You could add some red food coloring to the whipped cream topping. You will just want to stir it in briefly at the end. :)

In reply to shay. Hey there! I've made this recipe several times, came out perfect! Thank you so much. We're having a Valentines day themed potluck at work, I was wondering, would red food coloring be okay to add to this? And if yes, then at which step would be the best time to add?

In reply to shay. Hi Shay! I'm not sure exactly how it would be used, but this is a softer frosting so you don't want to put anything too heavy on top of it.

Will this recipe work as a layer for a tuxedo cheesecake?

In reply to Sam. Hi, do you have an alternate option for the chocolate moussse without the raw eggs? Thanks,

In reply to Sam. Thank you. I will be looking for it! Anxious to make, looks so good!

In reply to Carol Jenkins. Hi Carol! I don't actually have a recipe without raw eggs currently, but I will add it to my list. :)

Could you please email me the substitute for raw eggs? I have a immune deficiency and cannot eat raw eggs. I would really love to try this. I follow you on tictok. You have so many recipes I have saved! Loved them all so
Thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing the new version so I can give it a try!
