FROZEN MOCHA MOUSSE
Steps:
- Break 3 ounces of the chocolate into pieces and place the pieces in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk in the coffee liqueur, water and espresso granules and heat the mixture until the chocolate just melts. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Place the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes, until the mixture is the texture of mayonnaise. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla, and slowly pour in the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Put the egg whites and salt in the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the whites form soft (not dry!) peaks. Fold them carefully into the chocolate mixture. In the same bowl (no need to clean it) beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks and fold it carefully into the chocolate mixture. Grate the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate and fold it into the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a 10-cup souffle dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.
- For the whipped cream, place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip on medium and then high speed until it reach stiff peaks. Spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the edge of the mousse with the whipped cream, and sprinkle extra chocolate shavings over the center of the mousse for decoration. Serve frozen.

Tips for Perfect Mocha Soufflés:
- Use high-quality, dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich, intense mocha flavor. - Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start. This will help them incorporate more easily into the batter. - Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. This will give your soufflés a light and airy texture. - Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing can deflate the soufflés. - Bake the soufflés immediately after assembling them. This will help them rise properly. - Don't open the oven door during baking. This can also cause the soufflés to deflate. - Serve the soufflés immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fluffy.Conclusion:
Mocha soufflés are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure your soufflés turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these mocha soufflés a try!
