- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of espresso over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add 8 ounces of chopped semisweet chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until pale and creamy.
- Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. Let it cool to room temperature.
- In another bowl, whip 1/2 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Divide the mousse into serving glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
