Chocolate Mousse

 by Diana

2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips (pure chocolate)

3 tbsp hot coffee

Mix these in a blender. If the chocolate isn’t melted, add 1 tbsp more of coffee.

Add 4 egg yolks, one at a time.

Add 2 tbsp amoretto, brandy, cointreau or vanilla

Add 4 tbsp of unsalted butter, one piece at a time

Set aside.

Beat the 4 egg whites until stiff and fold into the chocolate mixture. Put into mousse dishes.

For fancy presentations there are these suggestions:

Melt chocolate and paint on moulds with a paint brush. Chill the moulds and flip out. Fill the moulds with mouse, and decorate with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

Mousse cake:

Line a greased loaf pan with chocolate sponge cake. Fill with mousse and top with cake. Chill. Ice or glaze and cut to serve.
