For the dark mousse, roughly chop the chocolate and melt it with the espresso over a hot water bath that is not boiling. Remove from heat. Soak the gelatin in cold water.

Separate the eggs; beat the yolks with vanilla sugar over another hot water bath until the sugar dissolves. Squeeze out excess water from the gelatin and dissolve it in the yolk mixture. Whip the chilled cream stiffly.
