Silky coffee mousse meets glossy dark chocolate ganache in a dessert that’s so rich, your bank account might get jealous. The espresso-infused mousse is light, airy, and perfectly balanced with the deep, velvety chocolate. Every spoonful delivers a caffeine-kissed, chocolate-drenched experience that feels downright luxurious. No baking, no stress—just pure indulgence in a glass. Serve it at dinner parties and pretend you put in way more effort. Or, eat it straight from the bowl because self-care is important. Either way, it’s ridiculously good, and no, sharing is not required.
