Who Doesn't Like a Mousse

This post is a long pending one...the reason why its been on hold ?? well I make my chocolate mousse very often and its another recipe from back when i was a teenager, but...nobody waits long enough after its made for me to photograph it (me included)...so due to lack of proper pics its been in my draft list for a really long time...and still the pics that i finally did click are not the best quality...
This one is a really simple recipe that i got out of a weekly magazine once upon a time...
the best part of the recipe is that i use the same recipe for making any different flavour of mousse, and thankfully it has never betrayed me till now..

The Classic - Chocolate mousse

note:- You can substitute the chocolate for

• 1 cup of any fruit puree 
• 1/4 cup of fruit preserves or concentrates
• 1 - 2 tbsp of instant coffee

or if you can think of any other flavor do let me know... like i said its never failed me as of yet. I've been thinking of trying it with a packet of jello. will let you know how that turns out.
