Melt the chocolate for the mousse: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over a medium saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, then remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for 3–4 minutes until it is warm but no longer hot to the touch.
