Named after the famous Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Blue Mountain Mousse is a decadent dessert that's perfect for coffee lovers. This recipe combines rich coffee flavor with whipped egg whites and gelatin to create a light and airy mousse that's sure to impress your guests. Topped with chocolate shavings and whipped cream, this dessert is as delicious as it is beautiful.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, whisk together the coffee and Tia Maria. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for 5 minutes.
2.	In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water, and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5-7 minutes.
3.	Remove the bowl from the heat. Add the coffee mixture and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
4.	In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the coffee mixture until no white streaks remain.
5.	Divide the mixture evenly among 6-8 serving glasses or ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
6.	Serve topped with chocolate shavings and whipped cream.
