DIRECTIONS
|
Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in cream, 1/4 cup sugar, yolks and coffee powder. Stir with wooden spoon over medium-low heat until custard thickens slightly (do not boil), about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add chocolate and vanilla; whisk until melted. Cool to barely lukewarm, about 30 minutes.

|
Using electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff. Gently pour chocolate mixture over whites; fold together. Divide 1 basket berries among 6 wine glasses. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon jam. Spoon mousse over, dividing equally (about 3/4 cup each). Gently top with remaining berries. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
