The process of making chocolate mousse from one ingredient:
When cooking, the golden rule is that chocolate should not be mixed with water, so melt it in a water bath or in a microwave oven, otherwise it hardens and becomes grainy. In our case, we whistle at this rule. Pour the chocolate into a bowl with enough cold water to cover the chocolate. During heating with water, they become one. You wait for the mass to cool down a bit, but you shouldn't wait too long, otherwise it hardens. You then pour the mass into a mixing bowl, which you place in a larger bowl filled with ice water (or water with ice), and start beating (by hand or with an electric mixer). And you beat and beat.
Be persistent because you will be richly rewarded in the end. Chocolate mousse made from only one ingredient is as good and light as any "real" one, but it requires much more ingredients, patience and cooking knowledge.
