Servings: 8 people
Calories: 492kcal
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate
- 1 (4 oz) bar bakers chocolate roughly chopped, I used semi-sweet
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pint heavy cream divided
Instructions
- Place chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, instant coffee, vanilla, and salt into a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
- Warm 1/2 cup heavy cream in microwave for 30 seconds. You want it to be warm enough to melt the chocolate, but not so hot that it boils and scorches the cream.
- Pour warm cream over the chocolate, allow to soften and melt for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Set aside to cool for 5 minutes while you whip the remaining cream.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, whip remaining 1 1/2 cups cream until stiff peaks form, then slowly drizzle in melted chocolate while continuing to whip.
- Divide the mixture between 8 ramekins, glasses, or vessels of choice and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight (if it’s too firm, set at room temperature for a few minutes to soften).
- Top with extra whipped cream or toppings of choice and enjoy!
