Dark Chocolate & Coffee Mousse
This decadent chocolate mousse combines the rich flavor of dark chocolate with the bold essence of coffee, creating a smooth, airy dessert. Made with just a handful of ingredients, it’s the perfect treat to pair with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings. Simple yet elegant, it’s an ideal dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips sweet
- 5 tablespoons robust coffee or espresso, boiling hot
- 5 eggs separated
- fresh strawberries optional
- whipped cream
Instructions
- Whisk the egg whites until at stiff peaks and set aside.
- Put the chocolate coins in a food processor and pulverize.
- Slowly add the hot coffee and process until melted and blended.
- Add the egg yolks one at a time and blend thoroughly.
- Run this mixture through a strainer to sift out any shells and egg chalazae (What my wife calls the ‘umbilical cords’).
- Add one third of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture and fold gently.
- Add another third and do the same.
- Add the final third, ensuring that all of the egg whites are mixed in well and the finished product is uniform.
- Chill until set and serve with berries, whipped cream, Creme Anglaise, chocolate sauce or sides of your choice.
