A delightful dessert combining rich chocolate and coffee flavors, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the egg yolks, butter, and chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
Ensure the bowl does not touch the water when melting the ingredients.
Place the bowl over a pan of hot water and gently heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts.
Stir continuously to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the rum and coffee until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for an even flavor.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Use a clean, dry bowl to achieve the best results.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold gently to maintain the airy texture of the mousse.
Divide the mixture evenly among ramekins and refrigerate until set.
Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Decorate with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh strawberries before serving.
Add garnishes just before serving for the freshest presentation.
