Ingredients
 
 

For the Mousse:

  • 1/2 cup cream at room temperature
  • 3 eggs separated
  • 1 ½ floz Kahlua or other coffee liqueur 45 ml
  • 9 ounces dark bitter sweet chocolate 250 grams
  • 4 tablespoons sugar

For the Cinnamon Cream:

  • cream
  • 1 teaspoon icing sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon ground

Instructions
 

  • Note: You will need 4 x 100-125 ml (3.5-4.5 fl oz) capacity bowls or ramekins.
  • Place a saucepan with about 2 cms (1 inch) water in it on high heat to boil, and reduce to a rapid simmer
  • In a large mixing bowl place the chocolate and set it on the saucepan.
  • With a wooden spoon or a heat resistant rubber spatula slowly stir the chocolate while it melts.
  • Once all the chocolate has just melted, leave the bowl on the pot but remove them both from the heat.
  • In another bowl whisk the cream and add the yolks.
  • Whisk the cream, Kahlua, sugar and yolks to soft but stable.
  • In a third bowl whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
  • Remove the chocolate bowl from the boiler and fold the cream and yolks into it until smooth.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into that until no streaks or white spots are visible.
  • Pour this mixture into the serving bowls and place into the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
  • Once the mousse has set, whip the remaining cream with the cinnamon and sugar until soft but stable.
  • Serve the mousse with either the cream dolloped on top or served on the side.
