Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 500 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Meanwhile, chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof mixing bowl.
In a medium saucepan, heat 300 milliliters of heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Add the instant coffee powder and sugar to the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully dissolved.
Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10 seconds to liquify it, then stir it into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Add in the vanilla extract and whisk again.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a separate chilled bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the remaining 200 milliliters of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch, if desired.
