Fluffy Coffee Mousse

Creamy and fluffy all at once, this dessert looks good enough to be nice ending to a romantic dinner- but it only takes a few ingredients and little effort to make. Taken from an old 70's dessert cookbook. Cooking time is chilling time.

• Ready In: 1 hr 25 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2  cups miniature marshmallows
• 1  cup  strong coffee
• 1⁄2 cup evaporated milk, refrigerated for 30 minutes
• 2  ounces chocolate, grated
• 1  cup  whipped cream (optional)

Directions

1. Heat the coffee and marshmallows in a small saucepan, stirring often until they are almost melted.
2. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath.
3. Add the chocolate to the marshmallow mixture, remove from heat and keep stirring until it's smooth. Pour into a bowl and place on ice bath.
4. Stir until cooled and beat with an electric mixer until frothy. In another bowl, (no need to wash beaters) beat evaporated milk until thickened and doubled in volume. Fold gently into marshmallow mixture.
5. Divide into 6 custard or ice cream cups and refrigerate until set. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and more grated chocolate if desired.
