Published Thursday, December 22, 2005 by Jim | E-mail this post
Ingredients1 3/4 cups whipping cream
12 ounces quality semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 ounces espresso or strong coffee
1 T bourbon
4 T butter
1 t flavorless, granulated gelatin
InstructionsIn a double boiler, combine chocolate chips, coffee, bourbon and butter. Melt over barely simmering water, stirring constantly. Remove from heat while a couple of chunks are still visible. Cool slightly.
Pour 1/4 cup whipping cream into a metal measuring cup and sprinkle in the gelatin. Allow gelatin to "bloom" for 10 minutes. Stir mixture into the cooled chocolate and
set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the remaining cream to medium peaks. Stir 1/4 of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream. Do not over work the mousse.
Spoon into serving dishes and chill for at least 1 hour. Garnish with fruit and whipped cream with bourbon.
