Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted, about 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in espresso powder until completely dissolved, then whisk in vanilla extract.
  3. Step 3: Let the chocolate mixture cool for 10 minutes until lukewarm.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream with granulated sugar and cocoa powder until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer).
  5. Step 5: Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, starting from the bottom and lifting up to maintain airiness, until no streaks remain.
  6. Step 6: Divide the mousse into 4 dessert glasses and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set and firm to the touch.
  7. Step 7: Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a dusting of cocoa powder or a small chocolate shavings.
