Directions

  1. In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, vanilla extract, confectioner's sugar, and 1/3 cup Godiva liqueur.
  2. Whip the cream mixture until stiff peaks form.
  3. Reserve half of the whipped cream and refrigerate the rest.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until pale yellow.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water.
  6. Cook the sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring until dissolved, until it reaches 248°F (120°C) (firm ball stage).
  7. Slowly pour the hot syrup in a thin stream into the beaten egg yolks while whisking constantly.
  8. Continue beating the egg mixture until it cools to room temperature.
  9. Melt the semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  10. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly for a few minutes.
  11. Fold the reserved half of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate.
  12. Add the chocolate-cream mixture to the cooled egg yolk syrup.
  13. Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup Godiva liqueur, instant espresso granules, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  14. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  15. Divide the mousse among eight 8-oz stemmed glasses or wine glasses.
  16. Cover the glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  17. Just before serving, garnish each glass with a dollop of extra whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and a dusting of the remaining cinnamon.
