Instructions

  • Please note that this dish requires 2 hours of refrigerating time and it will be best to start with it first to allow enough time for that prior to eating.
  • In a medium-sized stainless steel bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or double boiler), melt the chocolate and butter. Stir in the instant coffee, then pour the mixture into a bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks; set aside.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form; set aside.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar.
  • Stir a couple of spoonfuls of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, and then fold the remaining whites into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the whipped cream.
  • Spoon the chocolate mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, garnish as desired.

Notes
