4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 teaspoon instant coffee

1 pinch salt

1 cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Stir chocolate, instant coffee, and salt together in a medium bowl.

Heat cream, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just begins to simmer.

Pour hot cream mixture over the chocolate mixture; let sit for 1 minute.

Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture for 1-2 minutes until combined.

Pour the mixture into four small espresso cups. Tap to remove any air bubbles. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Serve topped with grated chocolate, or add lightly whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.
