ingredients
2 teaspoons powdered instant coffee or espresso
2 teaspoons hot water
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 can (14 ounce size) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
2 cups cold whipping cream
directions
Combine the instant coffee powder and hot water until the coffee dissolves. Set aside.
Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring, until the butter melts.
Stir in the cocoa powder and dissolved coffee and mix until smooth. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until well mixed. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until cool.
When the chocolate mixture is cool, add the whipping cream to a large, chilled bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Add the chocolate mixture to the whipped cream and fold gently to combine.
Spoon the mousse into individual dessert dishes and chill for 2 hours or until set.
Garnish as desired before serving with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or fresh fruit, if desired.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Is pleasant but nothing like rich enough - too creamy, not enough chocolate. Not really a mousse.

I like mousse to be sweet and may add some powdered sugar to the cream when I whip it. Sweetened condensed milk is usually not sweet enough for me when added to recipes.
