This recipe was printed in yesterday's newspaper and originally comes from a book called "Chocolate Holidays." I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds wonderful!

Provided by JenSmith

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (use the best quality you can find) or 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces (use the best quality you can find)
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
3 -4 teaspoons Irish whiskey
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To make the mousse, place the chocolate, 1/3 cup cream and 1/4 tsp espresso powder in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl in a skillet of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the skillet, stir in the whiskey and set aside. (You can use a double boiler instead of the bowl and skillet.).
  • In a heatproof medium bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 TB water and 2 TB sugar until well blended. Set the bowl in the skillet and whisk the eggs constantly (to prevent from scrambling) over hot (not simmering) water until they register 160 degrees on a thermometer. Remove the bowl from the skillet and beat at high speed with an electric mixer until the eggs have a texture like softly whipped cream, 3--4 minutes.
  • Fold one-quarter of the eggs into the chocolate. Scrape the chocolate mixture over the remaining whipped eggs and continue to fold just until evenly incorporated. Divide the mousse among 6--8 ramekins. Chill at least 1 hour, or unitl set, before serving.
  • In a chilled mixing bowl with chilled beaters, beat the remaining 2/3 cup of cream with the vanilla, the remaining 4 tsp sugar and the remaining 1 1/4 tsp espresso powder until nearly stiff. Top each mousse with a dollop of cream before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality coffee. Freshly brewed coffee will give the mousse a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have Irish cream liqueur, you can substitute another type of flavored liqueur, such as Bailey's or Kahlua.
  • Be sure to whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help the mousse to hold its shape.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to carefully dollop the mousse into the serving glasses.
  • Garnish the mousse with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or grated chocolate for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Irish coffee caramel mousse is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a coffee lover or a chocolate lover, this mousse is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this Irish coffee caramel mousse a try.
