Light, silky and intensely chocolatey, the third dish, this classic French chocolate mousse from Mia Hair Artistry principal Shanice Gore is far easier to master than its elegant name might suggest.

“This is a recipe I learned from my French teacher’s father, Sam, who is from France,” Gore shares. “He taught it to us as a treasured family recipe, and it has stayed with me ever since. In fact, it might just be the only thing I remember learning in French class!”
