Tilt prepared pan lengthwise at 45° angle. Spoon in peanut butter mousse and smooth top. (Mousse will form triangle down length of pan.) Set pan in freezer, propping to hold angle. Freeze until mousse is firm, about 1 hour.

    CHOCOLATE MOUSSE - Heat cream and sugar in heavy small pan over very low heat, stirring just until sugar dissolves. Transfer to medium. bowl and refrigerate until well chilled. Meanwhile, melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmer water, stirring until smooth - cool 5 minutes. Dissolve expresso powder in hot water in small bowl. Whisk in yolks. Add mixture to warm chocolate and stir until mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.

    Let stand until batter is cooled to room temp, but not set. Beat chilled cream to soft peaks. Fold cream into chocolate mixture in 2 additions. Set pan with frozen peanut butter mousse flat onto work surface. Spoon chocolate mousse over frozen peanut butter mousse. Smooth top. Cover pan. Freeze until chocolate is firm, 6 hours or overnight. GLAZE - Heat cream and butter in medium saucepan over low heat until cream simmers and butter is melted.
