For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur, such as coffee or orange, to the mascarpone mixture. If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips with a higher cocoa content. Feel free to adjust the amount of chocolate chips to your liking. This mousse can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
