List of Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces Bittersweet chocolate -- cut in small pieces
1 1/2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate -- cut in small pieces
2 tablespoons Coffee -- very strong brew
2 tablespoons Kahlua
2 Eggs; room temperature -- separated
1/4 cup Sugar
1 pinch Cream of tartar
1/2 cup Heavy cream -- well chilledRecipe
For the Mousse: In the top of a double boiler, set over barely simmering water, melt the chocolates with the coffee and the Kahlua, stirring occasionally. In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks with 3 tb. of the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale and stir in the chocolate mixture. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are frothy, add the cream of tartar, and beat the whites until they hold soft peaks.
Beat in the remaining 1 tb. sugar gradually and beat the whites until they just hold stiff peaks. Stir 1/4 of the whites into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining whites and the whipped cream, gently but thoroughly. Pour the mousse into a 1 qt. shallow dish and chill, covered, for at least two hours. (This may be made a day in advance) Before serving, arrange some of the chocolate leaves on the mousse, and serve the remaining leaves separately.
