Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 60 ml Espresso or strong coffee
- 2 teaspoons Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 250 ml Heavy cream (whipping cream), chilled
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
Line a 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until finely crushed. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Press the cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the mousse layer.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, then microwave for 10-15 seconds until dissolved. Stir well and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler setup), melt the chopped dark chocolate with the espresso, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Whisk the gelatin mixture into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 2-3 additions, being careful not to deflate the airiness.
Spread the mocha mousse evenly over the chilled cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 4 hours, or until set.
To serve, lift the slice out of the pan using the parchment overhangs. Dust the top with cocoa powder and cut into squares or slices. Enjoy!
