Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
Stir in the instant coffee granules and vanilla extract until fully dissolved and incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Take half of the whipped cream and gently fold it into the cooled chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
Fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
Divide the mousse evenly into two serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings before serving. Enjoy!
