Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Mousse

Adapted from Advanced Bread and Pastry (SFBI) -M. Suas

No egg white in the chocolate mousse...is that a good thing? I am not so sure - but it saves some work. This is the first mousse I have made with gelatin, and I must say it makes the mousse stable - with a creamy mouth feel to it. Originally the recipe calls for a "pate a bombe", but that is just not possible using ONE egg yolk! This mousse miiiight be good in a mousse cake, but i´m not sure. Next up I hope to try a mousse with italian meringue.
