3 ounces brewed espresso or strong coffee
1 tablespoon dark rum
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
Chipotle Caramel Sauce
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of the whipping cream. Allow gelatin to bloom for 10 minutes. Microwave cream mixture until warm and gelatin dissolved. Stir into cooled chocolate.

Amazing recipe! Creamy mousse and loved the sauce with the "bite" to it.

The mousse is a dark, rich and very dense mousse. Definitely serve in small quantities. The mousse isn't overly sweet since it uses dark chocolate. The caramel sauce was perfect with this. The smokey heat of the chipotle was apparent but not overpowering. You got a bite here and there of it but it wasn't constant which made this dessert "work".
