Chocolate Mousse With Brown-Buttered Pecans @ Cafe B
A well-made chocolate mousse is such a great dessert that adding extras to it beyond simple garnishes like fresh berries usually makes it less delicious, not more. Here is a counter-example. The mousse itself is dark, almost bitter chocolate. The pecans also have a little bitterness. But all that is balanced by the sugar in the mousse and a shingle of chocolate brittle stuck into the moussey mass. Chocolate-heads will love this.
