Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Semi-sweet chocolate (finely chopped or grated)
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Chill a mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting, to ensure the heavy cream whips properly.

Step 2

In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip; stop as soon as the mixture holds its shape but remains smooth.

Step 4

Gently fold in the finely chopped or grated semi-sweet chocolate using a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

Step 6

Before serving, optionally top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings for extra flair.
