Directions
~~ For the cherries ~~
Combine all ingredients, except butter, in a medium saucepan. Toss cherries to coat and heat over medium low heat until thickened and bubbly (about 10 mintues), stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in unsalted butter. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready for assembly.
~~ For the mousse ~~
Place chocolate, butter, and Licor43 in a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan with about an inch of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are completely melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In another heatproof bowl whisk egg yolks, coffee, and 3 tablespoons sugar until well combined. Place over simmering water and whisk continually until mixture becomes lighter in color, thickened and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Add the egg yolk mixture to the chocolate and whisk just until fully combined. Let cool to room temperature.
Add egg whites and cream of tartar to a clean metal bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Turn speed to high and slowly add sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold about a quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to loosen it up. Add the remaining egg whites and carefully but thoroughly fold them in. Set aside.
Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipping cream into the chocolate mixture making sure to fully incorporate it. Cover mousse with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before assembly.
~~ For the cream ~~
Add all ingredients to a cold mixing bowl and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready for assembly.
~~ For assembly ~~
To make the chards, melt 3 ounces of chocolate using the water bath method described above. When the chocolate has melted, add 1 ounce more and stir until it is melted. Immediately pour the melted chocolate onto parchment paper and smooth out with an offset spatula. Cool until hardened and break or cut pieces for decoration.
Begin assembly by breaking a few biscuits in half on the bottom of your serving glass. Add a thin layer of cherries in sauce followed by chocolate mousse and mascarpone cream. Repeat all of the layers a second time and finish with sliced almonds, chocolate chards, and a fresh cherry (if you have any left). Serve cold.
