Chocolate Kahlua Mousse

Sink your teeth into this awesome treat that is soft, yet bittersweet!

Kahlua, a coffee liqueur, gives the bittersweet flavour to this culinary delight.

~ Ingredients

2 tbsp Kahlua
1/2 tsp instant coffee
1 cup heavy cream (known as double cream in the market. You can get it loose, or buy Amul's double cream)
230 gm dark sweet chocolate
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites

~ Method

Over low flame, melt dark chocolate and butter in a pan. Keep aside when it melts.

Separate the two egg whites from the two egg yolks (crack the egg, open the two halves, pour only the white into a glass and the yellow into another).

In a bowl, add coffee powder, sugar, egg yolks and Kahlua.

Blend in chocolate into this mixture.

In a separate bowl, whip cream until it forms stiff peaks. (You have to whip vigorously, and make sure you don't over-whip it.)

Fold whipped cream into the Kahlua-chocolate mixture gently.

In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.

Fold the egg whites into the Kahlua-chocolate mixture.

Pour this mixture into a serving bowl or dessert glasses.

Refrigerate for four hours or overnight.

Don't want alcohol? Skip the Kahlua altogether. Use coffee extract (coffee powder dissolved in water).
