Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup coffee, brewed strong
4 large egg whites
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon dark rum (optional)
2 ounces chocolate, shaved for garnish

Steps:

In the top of a double boiler, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate & the strong coffee, then set it over simmering water, stirring occasionally until chocolate has melted. Remove from heat & let cool slightly.
Meanwhile with an electric mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually beat in the powdered sugar & continue to beat until egg whites hold a stiff peak.
In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream into soft peaks.
Use a spatula to fold the whipped EGG WHITES into the chocolate, & then carefully fold in the whipping cream & the rum.
Spoon the chocolate mousse into 4 glasses & cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours, so that the mousse has time to firm up.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings.

Tips:

To achieve a light and fluffy mousse, ensure that the egg whites are at room temperature and that the bowl and beaters are clean and free of grease. This will help the egg whites to whip up properly.
Do not overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will become stiff and dry, resulting in a grainy mousse.
When folding the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, do so gently and carefully. Overmixing will result in a deflated mousse.
If you are using a flavored chocolate, such as mint or orange, add a small amount of the flavoring to the heavy cream before whipping. This will help to infuse the mousse with flavor.
Mousse can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. However, it is best to let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Belgian chocolate mousse is a delicious and decadent dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a relatively easy dessert to make, and it can be customized to your own liking.
