This is one of my favourite recipes, I love chocolate and this is rich and tasty, a friend sent me this recipe and I have loved it ever since.
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
8oz good quality cooking chocolate
2 large eggs, separated
2tbl. Sp. strong black coffee
8oz double cream
2tbl.sp. of your favourite liqueur (Drambuie or Grand Marnier go well).
Break chocolate into small pieces and melt in bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth. Remove from water and cool slightly. Stir in egg yolk, liqueur and coffee. Whip cream until just floppy and gently fold into chocolate mix. Whisk egg whites until stiff and gently fold in. Make sure it is completely mixed in.
Pour into individual glasses or ramekins, cover with cling film and chill for 2/3 hours. Serve with whipped cream.
This is delicious for that special night in.

Double cream is the cream that is thicker than single cream and is the type tht you would whip for toppings on trifles rather than use for pouring like single cream. It is the terms we use in England.
