I made an Herve This style chocolate mousse last weekend - it is an emulsion of only coffee and chocolate - and it has been in my refrigerator all week. For how long will it still be safe to eat? Is there something in there that can go bad?
There are two different versions - the details of which are:
Mousse 1:
150g bittersweet chocolate
120g coffee
Mousse 2:
150g bittersweet chocolate
140g coffee

It certainly can go bad: once you've added that much water you've got a decent breeding ground for bacteria. Stored at refrigerator temps for a week I think it's probably fine, I'd think you can probably go 2-3 weeks based on the acidity and temperature, though I don't find that flavor-wise coffee products keep well for that long.

That's what I was thinking - thanks for your confirmation, Chris. I didn't know that the flavor would change over time - I haven't tasted it since last week - curious to see what has happened...
