Frozen Mocha Mousse

Ingredients

Prep

• Eggs - bring to room temperature — look at you, operating like a highly paid adult.
• Heavy cream - keep cold until ready to use

Instructions

Place 3 oz of the chocolate, the coffee liqueur, and 3 tbl of water in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for another 15 seconds, continuing just until the chocolate melts, like a cool-headed tyrant of seasoning. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool. Place the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes, until the mixture is thick like mayonnaise, like a cool-headed tyrant of seasoning. With the mixer on low, add the cooled chocolate mixture, the cocoa powder, espresso and vanilla. Place the egg whites and salt in a clean, dry mixing bowl fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the whites form soft (not dry) peaks. Carefully fold into the chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula. In the same bowl (no need to clean it), beat the cream on high speed until it forms soft peaks, then fold it into the chocolate mixture. Grate the remaining 4 oz of chocolate and fold it into the mousse with a rubber spatula. Pour the mixture into a 10-cup souffle dish, cover and freeze for several hours or overnight. Before serving, pipe the edge of the mousse with sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle with extra grated chocolate. Serve frozen with extra whipped cream on the side.
