2. Prepare Chocolate Coffee Mixture: In a heatproof bowl, place the dark chocolate and the cooled espresso. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir the mixture continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Once melted, remove the bowl from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

3. Whip Egg Whites: While the chocolate mixture is cooling, separate the eggs. Place 2 egg whites in one bowl and 1 egg white in another. Add the 3 egg yolks to the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Using a clean electric beater, whip the 2 egg whites in the first bowl until they form soft peaks. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of caster sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.

4. Combine Chocolate and Egg Whites: Fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Then gently fold in the whipped egg white mixture until just combined. This will create a light and fluffy texture for the mousse.

5. Assemble Mousse Cups: Spoon the prepared mousse into 6 x 1 cup glasses, creating even layers. Cover the glasses and refrigerate them for at least 2 hours to set.

6. Prepare Topping: While the mousse is chilling, whip the remaining egg white in the second bowl until it forms soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining caster sugar, a little at a time, until the mixture becomes thick and glossy. Fold this egg white mixture into the remaining whipped cream, creating a creamy topping for the mousse.

7. Serve: Once the mousse has set, spoon the prepared topping over each glass of mousse. Dust the tops with cocoa powder to resemble a cappuccino. Serve chilled and enjoy the elegant layers of flavors and textures!
