A traditional chocolate mousse with a hint of orange flavor. This luxurious dairy-free and low-carb mousse is made simply with eggs and chocolate. Omit the orange zest for a plain chocolate mousse.

Ingredients

  • orange, zested: 1 piece
  • ounces dark chocolate (65 to 70% cocao), chopped into small pieces: 7 piece
  • strong brewed coffee: 2 Tbsp (to taste)
  • eggs, separated, room temperature: 6 piece
  • pinch salt: 1 piece
