Step 1
Melt 6 oz dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3
Beat 2 egg whites with 2 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold the melted chocolate into the egg whites, then gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
Step 4
Spoon the mousse into 2 serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, until set but still soft.
Step 5
Drizzle with extra melted chocolate (if you have some), top with 6 coffee beans and a small piece of gold leaf. Serve chilled.
