   • In a heavy saucepan, melt the chopped dark chocolate with 2/3 cup of heavy cream (and liqueur, if using) over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler method over simmering water.

2. Cool the Chocolate:

   • Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature.

3. Whip the Cream:

   • In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the remaining 1 1/3 cups of heavy cream together with powdered sugar and instant espresso until the mixture forms soft peaks.

4. Combine Chocolate and Cream:

   • Gently fold a small amount of the whipped cream mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined.

5. Incorporate Remaining Cream:

   • Fold the chocolate and cream mixture back into the remaining whipped cream until smooth and evenly blended.

6. Assemble and Chill:

   • Spoon the chocolate espresso mousse into 8-10 wine glasses or dessert bowls.

7. Chill Before Serving:

   • Refrigerate the mousse for at least one hour to allow it to set and firm up.

8. Garnish and Serve:

   • Before serving, garnish each serving with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and decorate with raspberry, strawberry, or orange slices as desired.
