Two years ago, my husband and I enjoyed a romantic honeymoon in Paris. On our way to the Eiffel Tower, we sought shelter from the rain in a charming cafe. We decided to try their chocolate mousse for dessert, and it was absolutely divine. I knew immediately that I wanted to recreate this exquisite dessert for my husband back home. For an elegant presentation, serve the mousse in wine glasses.

Ingredients

0.5 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips, or more to taste
1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
0.25 cup hot, strong coffee
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Place chocolate chips in a large bowl.
Heat 1/2 cup cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer and foam, watching carefully to prevent boiling over, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and cover the bowl for 1 minute.
Remove the cover and gently stir with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Stir in the hot coffee and vanilla extract until all the chocolate has completely melted.
In a chilled glass or metal bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until evenly combined.
Spoon the mousse into individual glasses and refrigerate until firm, allowing it to set for at least 3 hours.
