Once all the chocolate has been added, stop the mixer and remove the bowl. Using a wooden spoon or spatula gently fold until the chocolate and cream have been well combined.
  • Add the mousse to the tart pan in an even layer, refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
  • Top with cherries just prior to serving.
