For an even smoother mousse, you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it can become grainy. Folding gently is key to maintaining the light and airy texture of the mousse. If you don't have kirschwasser, you can substitute it with another liqueur, such as rum or brandy, or simply use vanilla extract. For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
