Chocolate Mousse
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons hot coffee
- Salt
- 1 pint heavy cream (whipping cream)
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ounce kirsch (cherry brandy), coffee brandy, or chocolate liqueur
- Grated chocolate, for garnish
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, coffee, and salt. It should whisk together easily and have the consistency of melted chocolate. If it is too thick, whisk in another tablespoon of coffee. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium high to whip the cream for 1 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and whip for another minute. Add the kirsch and coffee-cocoa mixture. Whip on high until stiff peaks form, about another minute.
Spoon the mixture into a small ramekin or a martini glass. Sprinkle with grated chocolate. Refrigerator until ready to serve.
Makes 4 servings.
