Mousse au Chocolat
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 Cup(s) Whipping Cream

  • 12 Oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

  • 3 Oz Espresso

  • 1 Tsp Dark Rum

  • 4 Tablespoon Butter

  • 1 Teaspoon Geletin granulated

Steps
  • Chill 1 1/2 cups whipping cream in refrigerator. Chill metal mixing bowl and mixer beaters in freezer.

  • In top of a double boiler, combine chocolate chips, coffee, rum and butter. Melt over barely simmering water, stirring constantly. Remove from heat while a couple of chunks are still visible.

  • Cool, stirring occasionally to just above body temperature.

  • Pour remaining 1/4 cup whipping cream into a metal measuring cup and sprinkle in the gelatin. Allow gelatin to "bloom" for 10 minutes. Then carefully heat by swirling the measuring cup over a low gas flame or candle.

  • Do not boil or gelatin will be damaged. Stir mixture into the cooled chocolate and set aside.

  • In the chilled mixing bowl, beat cream to medium peaks. Stir 1/4 of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.

  • Fold in the remaining whipped cream in two doses. There may be streaks of whipped cream in the chocolate and that is fine. Do not over work the mousse.

  • Spoon into bowls or martini glasses and chill for at least 1 hour. Garnish with fruit and serve.

    (If mousses are to be refrigerated overnight, chill for one hour and then cover each with plastic wrap)
