Time 6h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 orange, zested
7 ounces dark chocolate (65 to 70% cocao), chopped into small pieces
2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, or more to taste
6 eggs, separated, room temperature
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Grind orange zest using a mortar and pestle until it forms a smooth paste.
  • Combine chocolate, coffee, and orange zest in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly
  • Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form (see Editor's Note).
  • Add egg yolks to the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Pour over egg whites. Carefully fold together using a spatula until just combined.
  • Pour mixture into 10 small dessert glasses or 1 large serving dish. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to overnight.

This mousse was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The chocolate flavor was intense, and the orange zest added a nice touch of brightness. I think I would prefer a mousse with a lighter texture next time.
