Ingredients

• 2 shots espresso
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 350 milliliters heavy whipping cream
• 3 units egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon gelatin
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 30 grams dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and cold water. Let bloom for 5 minutes to hydrate the gelatin.

Step 2

Brew 2 shots of espresso and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy.

Step 4

Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making a double boiler, and whisk continuously for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Be careful not to scramble the eggs.

Step 5

Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Stir in the espresso and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 6

In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using a handheld or stand mixer.

Step 7

Gently fold the cooled espresso mixture into the whipped cream in three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.

Step 8

Pour the mousse into serving glasses or molds. Smooth the tops with a spatula if necessary.

Step 9

Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence, if desired.
