Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 quart heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1/3 cup Godiva Liqueur
3 large egg yolks -- beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 pound semisweet chocolate
1/3 cup Godiva Liqueur
2 tablespoons instant espresso granules
2 teaspoons cinnamon -- divided
whipped cream
shaved chocolate

For the whipped cream, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract,
confectioner's sugar, and 1/3 cup Godiva Liqueur in a mixer and whip
until stiff; refrigerate. Beat the egg yolks until pale yellow; set
aside. For the syrup, combine the sugar and water in a small pot and
cook to 248 degrees. Pour the hot syrup steadily into the egg yolks
while beating, and beat until cool; set aside. In a double boiler, melt
the chocolate; cool slightly. Quickly fold half of the whipped cream
mixture into the chocolate and add it to the egg yolk mixture with 1/3
cup Godiva Liqueur, espresso granules, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and the
remaining whipped cream mixture; beat until smooth. Fill eight 8-ounce
wine or other stemmed glasses with the mousse, cover and refrigerate for
at least 2 hours. To serve, garnish with whipped cream, shaved
chocolate, and the remaining cinnamon.
