For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. If you don't have strong coffee on hand, you can use espresso or a tablespoon of instant coffee dissolved in 1/4 cup of hot water. For a vegan version, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream (refrigerated overnight and only using the thick part) and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
