Coffee Chocolate Mousse Recipe
Ingredients:
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp. brewed coffee
2 c. heavy whipping cream, divided
3 T. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch salt
Let's Get Started!
In a heatproof bowl, add coffee. Add in chocolate chips to the coffee and microwave in 20 second increments, stirring until the chocolate is completely smooth (add additional coffee if needed).
In a large bowl, pour 1-1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, whip until stiff peaks form.
Let the chocolate cool slightly then gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula.
Divide the mousse into serving glasses, cover and chill for at least two hours to set.
Top each dessert with a dollop of the remaining 1/2 cup of whipped cream and serve.
