For an even smoother mousse, sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the cream. If you don't have almond extract, vanilla extract works well as a substitute. Chilling the serving dishes before filling them will help the mousse set faster. Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as fresh berries or chocolate shavings. To make it a mocha mousse, add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder along with the cocoa powder.
