Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (2/3 cup)
1 tablespoon Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more, lightly whipped, for serving
4 Belgian spice cookies, such as Lotus Biscoff, lightly crushed, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together eggs and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water until doubled in volume and a thermometer registers 160 degrees (6 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat. Add chocolate, cocoa, espresso powder, and salt. Stir in butter until melted. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, whip cream to stiff peaks. Stir one-third of whipped cream into chocolate mixture until lightened, then fold in remaining whipped cream. Divide half of mousse between two glasses; sprinkle with crushed cookies. Top with remaining mousse and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. To serve, top with lightly whipped cream and more cookie crumbs.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The mousse was runny and the cookie crumbles were soggy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The mousse was not as light and fluffy as I expected, and the cookie crumbles were too hard. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chocolate mousse was a bit too thick for my liking, but the cookie crumbles were delicious. I would try this recipe again with a different mousse recipe.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good chocolate mousse parfait. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
