Mocha Chocolate Mousse image

Recipe from Southern Living February 2014. This seriously easy and decadent mousse hides a secret: reduced-sodium soy sauce! Just 1/2 teaspoon elevates the deep, rich flavor of the dark chocolate. Add crunch with cookies to contrast the mousse's silky texture. Heating store-bought shortbread for five minutes in a 350F. oven opens up the flavors of the buttery cookies.

Time 3h55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, baking bars (60% cacao, chopped)
2/3 cup strong-brewed coffee
1/4 cup Bourbon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 2/3 cups heavy cream (divided)
1/4 cup sugar
shortbread cookie (optional)
sweetened whipped cream (optional, and additional to heavy cream in ingredient list)
fresh raspberries, strawberries (optional) or chocolate shavings (optional)

Steps:

  • Microwave chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 minute or until slightly melted.
  • Bring coffee, next 3 ingredients, and 2/3 cup cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Pour hot cream-coffee mixture over chocolate in bowl. Let stand 15 seconds, and stir until smooth.
  • Cool completely (30 minutes or more).
  • Beat remaining 1 cup cream at high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer, using a whisk attachment, until foamy; gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form.
  • Stir 1/2 cup coffee-chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until blended; gradually fold in remaining coffee-chocolate mixture. (Mixture will be loose.).
  • Spoon chocolate mixture into a shallow 2-qt. bowl or 6 (8-10-oz) glasses. Cover with plastic wrap (without touching mousse), and chill 2 to 3 hours.
  • Serve with cookies, if desired, and toppings.
  • Note: Store-bought Walkers Pure Butter Assorted Shortbread cookies were warmed in the oven at 350° for 5 minutes so they tasted freshly baked.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Refrigerate mousse, without desired toppings, up to 2 days.

This mousse is a bit too rich for me, but it's still very good. I would recommend it to people who love chocolate desserts.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mousse turned out grainy. It was still edible, but it wasn't very smooth.

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

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mousse didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. It was still good, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I really enjoyed this mousse. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the coffee flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the chocolate.
