The highlight of freezing February is Valentine’s Day. Not for going out to lunch or dinner, where the big crowds rival Mother’s Day meal service. For me, it’s all about the meal I prepare at home. I try to cook up a simple steak, veal chop, or fish filet with a vegetable side so I have room to enjoy this luxuriously decadent mousse.
This recipe is a variation I learned while living in Paris. Seriously Simple to put together, the mousse can even be made in the morning, covered with plastic wrap, and decorated right before serving. I also love that this mousse incorporates my two favorite flavors: chocolate and coffee. The coffee accentuates the chocolate flavor.
