Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 squares (1 oz. each) semisweet chocolate; 2-1/2 tbsp. water; black coffee; 1 tbsp. butter; 1 tbsp. rum; 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract; 1/2 cup heavy cream (for garnish); 4 to 6 mousse; custard pots; 3 eggs

Servings: persons

1
Break the chocolate into pieces, put into a small saucepan with the water or black coffee and stir continuously over gentle heat until melted and thick and creamy (I use a double boiler to keep the chocolate mixturefrom scorching, nasty if that happens).
2
The chocolate should be quite hot, but the sides of the pan must not become so hot that you cannot touch them.
3
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and flavoring.
4
Separate the eggs, putting whites into a small bowl and dropping yolks, one at a time, into the chocolate mixture, stirring well after each addition.
5
Beat the whites until they hold a soft peak and fold very carefully intothe chocolate.
6
When thoroughly mixed, pour into the pots and chill overnight.
7
When ready to serve, whip the cream and spoon a portion on each pot.
