Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and set aside. Beat the yolks with the 2 tablespoons of sugar with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Stream in the melted chocolate at low speed.
• Dissolve the gelatin in the warmed liquor and stream slowly, along with the coffee, into the chocolate mixture at low speed. Transfer the mixture into a stainless steel bowl and refrigerate until needed.
• In another mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar to a stiff meringue with an electric mixer. In a separate bowl whip the heavy cream until firm. Fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
