Chocolate Mousse (from Joy in MO)

Prep time: 20-30 minutes
Chilling time: 1 hour

I'm getting hungry just thinking about this, let alone reading the recipe *g* Note that the eggs are not cooked at all. This recipe is old enough that it wasn't the issue that it is now.

12 oz chocolate (recipe says sweet, I always use semi-sweet)
4 tbsp (very) strong coffee

Combine in a bowl and melt over simmering water.

Remove from heat and stir in:
1 tbsp unsalted butter (oleo)
1-2 tbsp Kahlua (recipe calls for Cointreau)

Set aside to cool slightly.

Separate 4 large eggs and beat whites until stiff. Stir beaten yolks into slightly cooled chocolate mix, then gently fold in whites.

Spoon into individual glasses and chill for at least 1 hour. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Source is Readers Digest _Creative Cooking_, 1977. There are a number of other fave recipes in this book, which was a birthday gift from my folks in 1980 - Country Captain, Rosti, a great terrine (assuming one doesn't hate liver), Turkey Scallops Cordon Bleu ... aghhh - I'm starving ...........
