At first glance this might look like too little dessert, but it’s rich, deeply satisfying, and more than enough. The almond praline pulls double duty: Mixed into the chocolate mousse, it melts slowly, creating tiny pools of caramel throughout; scattered on top, it provides bold, contrasting crunch. The praline is designed to work with whole almonds (with or without the skin) rather than sliced or slivered. For the best texture, scope out a chocolate with about 65% cacao.
