This chocolate mousse with coffee and sour cherries is an airy mixture of melted chocolate, butter, and whipped eggs that sets in the refrigerator. The egg yolks are whisked with cane sugar and sherry over simmering water until they thicken to the consistency of thin mayonnaise, then stiffly beaten egg whites with vanilla are gently folded into the chocolate and coffee mixture. Chill the dessert for three to four hours and serve with sour cherries.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir in the coffee and remove from the heat.
In another bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, sherry, and water until the mixture reaches the consistency of thin mayonnaise. Place the bowl in cold water and continue whisking until the mixture firms up.
Gently stir the chocolate, then fold in the egg whites beaten to stiff peaks with sugar and vanilla. Refrigerate the dessert for 3–4 hours.
Serve with sour cherries or raspberries and garnish with chocolate shavings.
Tip: Fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the chocolate in two batches: use the first third to loosen the thick mixture, then gently fold in the rest to keep the mousse from deflating.
