Chocolate Kahlua Mousse

This mousse receipe has long been a favorite of ours.  It is one we have made since the 1970's, when the wife of my father once served it to us on a visit to see them. Someone has requested it, so I am putting it here, though I have no photo to share along with it. It is the perfect dessert to serve on Valentine's Day !

Chocolate Kahlua Mousse

6 oz. sweet chocolate, melted
2 Tbs Kahlua
3 Tbs orange juice
2 whole eggs
2 additional egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vania
1 cup cream, whipped

Melt chocolate with Kahlua and orange juice.  Mix all ingredients together (except cream) in blender or food processor for 1 minute.  Fold in whipped cream.  Pour into dessert bowls  or glasses.  Chill. Garnish with mint leaves, or a dap of whipped cream if desired.  Serves 6-8.
