CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
Steps:
- Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan containing about 1-inch of barely simmering water (or use a double boiler). Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool slightly. Then grab a whisk and beat the egg yolks into the chocolate, 1 at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until it begins to thicken up. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds soft peaks.
- Now that you've got the elements prepared, put it all together. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the whipped cream. Take care not over work the mousse or it will be heavy. Divide the mousse between 4 individual glasses, preferably Moroccan glasses. Cover and chill for several hours. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.

Steps:
- Beat 1/2 cup cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form; cover and chill.
- Combine egg yolks, espresso, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large metal bowl. Set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water). Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is lighter in color and almost doubled in volume and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the mixture registers 160°F, about 1 minute.
- Remove bowl from pan. Add chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth. Let stand, whisking occasionally, until room temperature.
- Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in another medium bowl on medium speed until foamy. With mixer running, gradually beat in remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Increase speed to high and beat until firm peaks form.
- Fold egg whites into chocolate in 2 additions; fold whipped cream into mixture just to blend.
- Divide mousse among six teacups or 4-ounce ramekins. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Mousse can be made 1 day ahead; cover and keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
- Before serving, whisk remaining 1/4 cup cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form; dollop over mousse.

Steps:
- Add enough water to a large saucepan to come 1 inch up the side. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Please the chocolate, salt, coffee, rum, and butter in a large mixing bowl and set over the simmering water.Don't get water in melting chocolate or it'll seize up. Stir occasionally until almost completely melted. Pull the mixture off the heat while a couple of small pieces are still floating around in there. Cool until just a bit warmer than body temperature (just touch the bowl).
- Pour 1/4 cup of the cream into a metal 1-cup measure and sprinkle in the gelatin. Let soak or "bloom" for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the remaining cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat to medium peaks.
- Carefully heat the bloomed gelatin by swirling the measuring cup over a low gas flame. Don't let it boil.
- Stir the cream-gelatin mixture into the cooled chocolate. Stir one quarter of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Fold in the rest of the whipped cream in two doses. There may be streaks of whipped cream still visible in the chocolate, and that's okay. Whatever you do, don't over-mix the mousse.
- Spoon into bowls, mugs, or martini glasses and chill for at least 1 hour. Garnish with fruit, if desired, and serve. If mousses are to be refrigerated overnight, chill for 1 hour and then cover each tightly with plastic wrap.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate pieces into a heatproof bowl and place over a bowl of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water (this ensures the chocolate is evenly melted and prevents burning). When the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat.
- Take the egg whites and whisk until they form soft peaks. Stir in the sugar and whisk until well combined and glossy.
- In a different bowl, whisk the egg yolks then beat them into the melted chocolate with a wooden spoon. This can become quite hard work as the mixture becomes quite stiff but take a spoonful of the egg whites and add to the chocolate mixture to loosen it. Then gently fold in the rest of the egg whites and the sugar, (taking care not to over-mix) to combine the ingredients. The mixture needs to be light and fluffy.
- Spoon the mixture into small pots or one large bowl, cover and allow to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
