Ingredients

1 envelope (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon espresso powder

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

2 cups milk

Pinch of salt

Preparation

In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water, let soften 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring cream to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in sugar and espresso powder until dissolved, about 1 minutes. Whisk in chocolate until melted (be careful not to let it burn), about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Whisk softened gelatin into cream mixture until gelatin has dissolved about 1 minute. Stir in milk and salt. Strain into a large liquid measuring cup (for easy pouring). Divide evenly among six 6-ounce coffee cups or custard cups. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
