Hints & tips

Coffee - You can use any kind of coffee or espresso you like, or substitute it for decaf to make a caffeine-free version.

Chocolate - Dark chocolate balances the mousse with a more pleasantly sweet flavour. You can use milk chocolate instead, but it will make the mousse sweeter.

Store - Cover individual servings of mousse with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
