At the heart of any great dish lies quality ingredients. For this chocolate mousse, good quality bittersweet chocolate is essential. Aim for chocolate that boasts around 70% to 72% cocoa solids. This range strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness, ensuring a rich flavor profile.
Alongside the chocolate, a dash of espresso powder adds depth, enhancing the overall taste while complementing the primary ingredient. When combined with O'Driscolls Irish whiskey, sourced from Wexford, Ireland, this mousse is set to leave a lasting impression. As it’s described, O'Driscolls is exceptionally smooth, aged in bourbon casks, and meticulously crafted by the founder and brand ambassador, Michael Stafford.
