Notes
Mousse au chocolate leftovers will stay fresh for a few days. Since there are no eggs, it should last
2-3 days covered and stored in the refrigerator.

Stored properly it can last up to two months in the freezer. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator and
thaw until it is spoonable. Do not microwave to thaw as the texture will be ruined.
