madame pilettas chocolate mousse

This is dead easy, but so yummy. The story goes that people sing about this mousse. And the story also says that once upon a time, a 16 year old boy from the U.S. was spending some time in Geneva with Madame Piletta. And she used to do this mousse, allowed for the recipe to be taken to the States. And now (many years later) it ended up in Germany, via the lovely mother of this then 16 year old.

Ingredients:

  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp coffee (strong fresh one, or dissolvable powder)
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 dl heavy cream , whipped or not

Directions:

Melt chocolate together with coffee. Beat egg whites until stiff. Beat egg yolks with sugar. Cool chocolate a little bit and beat in egg-yolk sugar mix. Add and mix carefully egg whites. Beat in heavy cream. Set in refigerator for about 5-6 hours.
