I’m gonna make this Double chocolate mousse cake. Do you reckon I could leave out the liqueur? Because I reckon it wouldn’t make a difference in the actual structure.
Yeah I have but there’s not a lot out there like this. Usually when you make mousse you use egg whites to make it stiff but this recipe doesn’t have this and I can’t see the liqueur helping in that way. I guess I’m just gonna leave it out and hope for the best.
Maybe it’s supposed to be mocha flavoured. But also a lot of chocolate cake recipes say to add some coffee to enhance the chocolate flavour. I don’t think it would matter if it was left out.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. It won’t taste the same of course but it won’t be bad either. I’m think I’m going to make mini samples and see how I go.

Maybe I do a test run first.
Could you google some alternatives?

I’d skip the liqueur and just add that amount of sweet coffee.
Yeah that’s an idea I’m thinking of too. I’m going to make samples without liquer and if it’s lacking in flavour that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
I think yes. If you wanted to keep the coffee flavour, could just use the same amount of coffee.
I was thinking that but wouldn’t it take away the chocolate taste?

Coffee is usually used to enhance chocolate flavour in recipes I’m pretty sure!
