  Not impressed - when I put the alcohol in the chocolate set. It would have been better to fold the alcohol into the cream and then add to the warm chocolate. I ended up with lumpy solid mousse!!! Also are you sure the ratio is right because this was very very heavy. Have made mousses before with no problem but should have gone with my own instincts instead of following your recipe. disappointed

  I noted the comment, added the liquour (brandy as it happens) to the chestnut puree to thin it, then folded the cooled chocolate into the cream, and the puree into that. This worked well, was nice and light, but made 8 because it's pretty rich. Bon appetit!
