Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs. semisweet chocolate chips 
• 1/2 c. strong brewed coffee or espresso 
• 1/2 c. Grand Marnier® or brandy 
• 1 tsp. orange zest, finely chopped 
• 4 eggs, separated, reserving yolks and whites 
• 2 c. heavy or whipping cream, cold 
• 1/4 c. sugar 
• pinch of salt

2. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. 
3. In a separate bowl, whip 1 c. of the cream until thickened. Gradually add the sugar, beating until the cream is stiff. 
4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the whipped cream. 
5. Stir about one-third of the cream mixture thoroughly into the chocolate mixture blending well. 
6. Add the remaining cream mixture over the chocolate base and gently fold them together. Gently fold in the vanilla extract. 
7. Pour the mousse into individual dessert cups or a serving bowl and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
