Recipe #1, Mocha Mousse


This recipe was a great way to start...super easy and all the same super tasty...However, just cause it's short doesn't mean there weren't multiple opportunities to mess it up! Thankfully, another friend, who we will call the expert chef has decided to join us! Thank goodness!! She saved us from not whipping up our egg whites enough and also from substituting unsweetened cocoa powder for hot-chocolate mix (which is why we made mocha mousse instead of fudgy brownies).
And then there's the multipe times I spilt the fluffed egg whites on the counter after the expert chef asked me if we'd rather her not give us instructions so we could make mistakes and learn from them...just as I said "yes, let us make mistakes!", I drop the egg whites! Oh my.
But most importantly Chloe (that's her alias name, I know she doesn't really like it...we will change it soon!) learned how to crack an egg and divide the yolk from the egg whites. Score one for learning at least something important today!
The result was oh so good...a little strong kick with how much coffee we put in, but delicious nonetheless! One down. Seventy Four to go.
