Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 ml Espresso (freshly brewed, cooled)
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 30 g Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3 Egg yolks
- Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
- Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate finely and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the cooled espresso and granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
Add the butter, one small piece at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth.
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add the chocolate mixture to the egg yolks in small increments, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and avoid scrambling.
Once mixed, divide the chocolate mocha mixture evenly between 4 small serving pots, ramekins, or glasses.
Allow the pots to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, optionally garnish each pot with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cocoa powder for a polished finish.
