Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Mousse topped with whipped cream and strawberry fan.

Rich, creamy chocolate mousse with a hint of coffee flavor.

Chocolate Mousse

This chocolate mousse  is one which shows up frequently when I host Sunday dinners for my family. It’s quite rich, but can be sized for the occasion. By simply selecting a smaller dish, like these tasting bowls I used for my recent book club event, you can yield more servings and be bad in a small way!

Thanks for adding a Star Rating (IN RECIPE) To Let Others Know What You Thought!

Instructions

  • Heat chocolate and coffee in small sauce pan until chocolate is melted. Simmer until slightly thickened, but still falling easily from the spoon. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks 1 by 1 into hot chocolate mixture so they thicken slightly.
  • Whisk in butter and rum or vanilla. Let mixture cool until tepid
  • Stiffly whip egg whites. Add sugar and continue whipping for 30 seconds to form a meringue.
  • Gently fold chocolate into egg whites, through multiple additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.

  • Top with whip cream and strawberry fans.
  • Enjoy!
