Oooh, that moussecake (mousecake) sounds delicious. I could eat some right now.
I wonder, if you got a recipe for ordinary choc mousse and just exchanged the chocolate for white chocolate, if it would then be too sweet, as white chocolate is something like 90% sugar. Just a thought. Any choccie experts out there?
