Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso or very strong coffee for the best flavor impact.
- Ensure the melted chocolate is cool before mixing to prevent deflating the whipped cream.
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust the confectioners sugar to taste.
- Chilling time can be extended up to 4 hours or overnight for a firmer texture.
- This dessert pairs beautifully with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans as garnish.
