How to Make Chocolate Cappuccino Mousse

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in instant coffee granules until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar until pale and thick.
  4. Slowly pour the warm coffee mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the melted semi-sweet chocolate until smooth and glossy.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  9. Divide the mousse into two serving glasses or ramekins.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
