  2. Step 2: Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa powder if desired. Spoon the mousse into 4 serving glasses or bowls.
  3. Step 3: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and mousse to firm up.
  4. Step 4: Just before serving, sprinkle a pinch of additional sea salt flakes on top for a balanced sweet-salty finish.
