Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Spread the batter onto the parchment paper in rounds or one large sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.

    To make the chocolate mousse: Melt bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate over a double boiler. Stir in strong brewed coffee and framboise liqueur until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.

    Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions to maintain airiness.
