If you didn’t want to make the chocolate cups, you could serve them in small bowls or even shot glasses.

- 3 T brewed coffee
- 3 T instant espresso coffee powder
- 1 C whipping cream
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, broken up
- 3 T superfine sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1. in a small saucepan, combine the brewed coffee & instant espresso powder. stir in the cream. place over medium high heat until the cream is hot.

2. add the chocolate & sugar & stir until chocolate is melted. stir in the vanilla.

3. pour into a bowl & chill for 3 hours, or until firm.

For the chocolate cups, watch this video:

For the chocolate hearts, i used the left over tempered chocolate from the cups, transferred it to a squeeze bottle, & freehanded some hearts.

Just make sure you do all of this chocolate work on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so you can refrigerate it & pull them off easily.

DO NOT:
pour the hot mousse into the chocolate cups.
you’ll melt them, silly!
wait for the mousse to cool & transfer it to the cups.
