If it's good enough for Ezra, it's good enough for me!
Courtesy the fine folks at Bon Appetit, and via epicurious.com, a quite delicious and most simple chocolate mousse recipe.
I made this last night for a little dinner party, with a small variation of my own: in lieu of the 1/4 cup water, substitute 2 tbsp of Kahlua liqueur, and two shots of fresh espresso. What, you don't have your own espresso machine? Shame on you! If this is the case, maybe try instant espresso powder , enough for a single serving.
Personally, for chocolate I used Ghirardeli dark (60% cocoa) chocolate chips. These are my favorite new find at Safeway...from what I can tell from the ingredients list and the nutrition information, they are exactly identical to the chocolate in the bars for sale right next to them on the rack, only at a little under the price on a per-ounce basis. And really, chocolate chips are superior to bars in almost every way! Just as easy to eat plain, easier to put in cookies, and just as easy to melt for recipes like this.
Anyhow, the combination of dark chocolate and coffee flavor is absolutely to die for. Try it!
