The perfect blend of coffee and chocolate.
Serves: 6
Preparation: 20 minutes (plus 3 hours for mousse to set)
Cooking: 30 minutes
Ingredients
250ml pure cream
250g dark chocolate, finely chopped plus extra for grating
3 egg yolks
50g caster sugar
250ml milk
Coffee cream:
300ml thickened cream
1 double shot L'OR Barista Ristretto intensity 11 (brewed ristretto setting and chilled)
30g icing sugar, sifted
Method
In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil. Add the chopped chocolate, leave to sit for two minutes before whisking until smooth.
Whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar in a medium bowl until pale. Bring the milk to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, return to the saucepan and cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and fold in the chocolate mixture.
Divide between six 200ml capacity serving glasses and refrigerate for 3 hours.
For the coffee cream, place all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until soft peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
To serve, pipe coffee cream into each serving glass, covering the chocolate mousse and finish with finely grated chocolate.
