Friday morning update: Deleted the old picture and added a new one. So much better! :)
I made chocolate mousse today, or rather Mousse au Chocolat, courtesy of Annie’s Recipes. This will be an entry in the Cooking With Alicia & Annie blog event for February. I thought it fitting with Valentine’s Day in a couple of days, the more chocolate the better! This mousse is fabulous and has a really nice coffee flavor to it.
Mousse au Chocolat (chocolate mousse)
2 tsp instant coffee
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
whipped cream (optional)
In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites just until soft peaks form when beater is slowly raised. Add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until stiff peaks form.
With rubber spatula or wire whisk, gently fold chocolate mixture into egg white mixture until combined well.
Spoon into six serving dishes and refrigerate until well chilled, about an hour, or until serving time. Garnish with whipped cream.

This looks so yummy…I could go for about 2 of them myself. Wonderful looking mousse.
I could jump into a tub of this right now. It looks so good. I can’t make it here unless I want to eat it all by myself…no one else here likes coffee flavored stuff.
Oh that looks good. It doesn’t get much better than chocolate mousse!!!

Debbie, Happy Cook, Marthe – Thanks ladies! This was so good. After sitting in the fridge over night, it tastes almost identical to French Silk Pie http://amandascookin.blogspot.com/2008/12/homemade-bakers-square-french-silk-pie.html

I haven’t made mousse in years, it might just be time…
The mousse is amazing, it’s fluffy and light, but I bet it has a rich chocolatey flavor. This would be the ideal date dessert :).
