Ingredients

• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
• 0.5 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips, or more to taste
• 0.25 cup hot, strong coffee

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chocolate chips in a large bowl.

Step 2

Remove cover and slowly stir with a spatula until smooth. Stir in hot coffee and vanilla extract until all chocolate has melted.

Step 3

Whip remaining 1 cup cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold cream into chocolate mixture until combined.

Step 4

Spoon into glasses and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
