Ingredients
- 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 6 tablespoons granulated white sugar divided
- 2 cups heavy cream divided
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate (either a bowl over boiling water, or in small increments in the microwave).
- In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, espresso powder, 4 tablespoons of the sugar, and ¾ cup of the cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula for 2 minutes, until the coffee dissolves and is blended completely. The color will be a caramel brown.
- Add the mixture, to the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Beat the remaining cream and sugar until stiff.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from the fridge, and whisk a little until smooth and mix-able, then fold the whipped cream in.

- Decorate with whatever you like (whipped cream, chocolate covered coffee beans, chocolate shavings... or not at all!
- Devour.
