The best chocolate mousse according to 60 million consumers

Among the desserts that can be found in our fridge, there is of course the chocolate dessert cream , fruit yoghurt and chocolate mousse. A true Proust madeleine, it immediately takes us back to childhood and warms our hearts. If some apprentice cooks love to prepare it at home, others (including us, let's face it), prefer to buy it in supermarkets. From then on, we enjoy a gourmet dessert, without having to put on the apron. However, if the chocolate mousse has totally conquered our hearts, the one found on the market is not quite a good student. Too sweet, with additives, flavorings, sweeteners... It's not easy to find THE right chocolate mousse.
