If you want to cheat on this one, it's ok. Just omit the mousse and add an extra 1/2 oz of vanilla vodka and garnish with whipped cream and serve it like a drink. But if you really want a special martini that doubles as a dessert, this is killer.
Make the drinks, top with the chocolate mousse, and refrigerate until set. Serves 4, or double the booze and serve 8.
Step 1:
2-4 oz Godiva chocolate liqueur
2-4 oz Vanilla vodka
Shake with ice, strain into martini glasses, refrigerate.
Step 1: make the mousse
Chocolate Mousse
2T unsalted butter
4oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 eggs, separated
1/4C sugar
1/2C heavy cream
1/2t vanilla extract
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler over low heat until smooth. Beat in egg yolks., and refrigerate. Beat egg whites with half the sugar until stiff but not dry, set aside. Beat cream, remaining sugar and vanilla. Fold eggs whites into chocolate mixture, fold in cream.
Step 3: Carefully top the drinks with the mousse and refrigerate until set. Garnish with whipped cream, and a long skinny chocolate (e.g. Ovations, Pocky).
