The mousse itself is characterized by its airy, creamy texture and deep chocolate flavor, often achieved using dark chocolate or a blend of dark and milk chocolate. The inclusion of nuts, typically walnuts (nozes), provides a crunchy counterpoint to the smooth mousse and adds a slightly earthy, nutty dimension. The chocolate sauce, generally made with similar chocolate as the mousse but with added cream or butter for a smoother consistency, intensifies the chocolate experience and adds a glossy finish.

Chocolate Quality
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. The type of chocolate will drastically affect the final product. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa percentage.
Egg Whites
Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks for a light and airy mousse. Over-whipping can make them dry, while under-whipping results in a dense mousse.
Folding Technique
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to maintain the airiness. Avoid stirring vigorously, as this will deflate the mousse.
Nut Preparation
Toasting the nuts before adding them can enhance their flavor and texture. Be sure to chop them to the correct size for best incorporation.
