Chocolate Kahlua Mousse served in a brandy glass, a martini glass and a clear plastic cup. Use what you have. Clear plastic cups are good for casual and outdoor serving.<\/p><\/div>\n

I don’t even know where to start to describe this oh so easy and delicious dessert.  It is one of the favorites of the Apples of Gold team and students.   My husband, Bill, loves, loves this dessert.  The coffee flavor with chocolate and cream who wouldn’t love it?  You can make it days ahead and serve it in beautiful glasses of all shapes and sizes or in simple clear plastic cups. It is also great for making a chocolate trifle, using as a fruit dip or to fill a cake. Your family and guests will think you have worked hard in the kitchen making such a gourmet dessert that is beautiful to serve and enjoy.  It is so creamy and explodes with flavor with each bite.  You can serve it with cookies; like in the photos or you can dress it up with some red, ripe raspberries.  There is  nothing better than chocolate and raspberries right?   The Kahlua is optional so don’t worry if you don’t have any on hand.  No reason to run off  to the store to buy some for such a small amount that the recipe calls for, but if you do you could have Kahlua and coffee.  Yum!!!  Of, course I am going to encourage you to make a double recipe, and it works fine to double it,  to share with friends and family bringing  Joy<\/strong> into their lives. It will be “The Best You Ever Made”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
