SUMMER DESSERT RECIPE
Now that summer is right around the corner, it’s time to make refreshing treats. Here is a recipe for a quick and easy Double Chocolate Mocha Mousse!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the semisweet and bittersweet chocolates in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt according to package directions. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, espresso powder, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture lightly coats the back of a spatula (do not let the mixture simmer or boil), 2 to 3 minutes.
- Scrape the egg mixture into the cooled chocolate and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until cooled, about 25 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the remaining cup cream and tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. In two additions, fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Divide among serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Sprinkle with shaved chocolate before serving, if desired.
