Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Place the chocolate chips in a large, heatproof bowl.

02

Step
4 mins

In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer and foam around the edges (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil over.

03

Step
1 mins

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, cover the bowl, and let it sit for 1 minute.

04

Step
2 mins

Remove the cover and gently stir with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Stir in the hot coffee and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

05

Step
3 mins

In a chilled glass or metal bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).

06

Step
2 mins

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two or three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

07

Step
1 mins

Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins.

08

Step
3 hrs

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.

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.
