    Raspberry Mocha Mousse

    I found this on the recipe exchange at THS and thought it looked so good.

    List of Ingredients




    12 ounces red raspberries
    1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    3 tablespoons milk
    1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
    2 eggs, separated
    1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
    3 tablespoons sugar
    Garnish: 1/2 cup unsweetened whipped cream, 4 pirouette cookies

    Yield: 4 servings

    Rinse and drain berries; set aside. For mousse, heat chocolate, milk,
    vanilla and espresso powder in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until
    chocolate melts. Whisk until smooth. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, and
    continue to cook and whisk until mixture thickens and reaches 140 degrees.
    Remove from heat. Place egg whites in an ovenproof glass or metal bowl and
    set in a saucepan over simmering water. Add cream of tartar and beat until
    foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly. Beat until whites form soft
    peaks and sugar is dissolved, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir 1/4 of whites into
    the chocolate mixture and blend. Gently fold in the remaining whites.

    Spoon about 1/2 cup berries into each of 4 stemmed glasses. Divide the
    mousse among the glasses. Top with remaining berries. Cover with plastic
    wrap and refrigerate until firm, several hours or overnight. Serve with a
    dollop of whipped cream and a rolled cookie garnish, if desired.

    Tip: The method described follows American Egg Board suggested cooking
    methods for egg safety. If you wish, you can beat the egg whites without
    cooking them over simmering water.
