4-ingredient chocolate mocha mousse cake

A 4-ingredient chocolate mocha mousse cake is a simple yet elegant dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and coffee. Here's a quick and easy recipe:

Ingredients:
Dark chocolate (70% cocoa) - 200g (7 oz)
Eggs - 4 large
Instant coffee granules - 1 tablespoon
Heavy cream - 250ml (1 cup)
Instructions:
Prepare the chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.

Make the coffee mixture: Dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Add the coffee mixture to the melted chocolate and stir until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Separate the eggs: Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until stiff peaks form.

Mix the egg yolks: In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and thick. Gradually add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture to the egg yolks, stirring continuously until well combined.

Fold in the egg whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Prepare the cream: Whip the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks.

Assemble the cake: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Set the cake: Pour the mousse into a lined springform cake tin (8-inch diameter) and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Serve: Once set, remove the cake from the tin, slice, and serve. You can optionally garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
