Next, melt the chocolate, Kahlua and orange juice in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat, stirring every minute or two. Once the chocolate chips are about 90% melted, about 4 to 6 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and stir until the mixture is silky smooth.

Add the melted chocolate to the blender. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides halfway through.
1 min - 4
Divide the mixture evenly between small glasses or small ramekins/serving bowls. Either place the servings in a container with a lid or cover the tops with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until serving time (at least 1 hour, ideally 2+) or freeze for later. Refrigerated mousse will keep well for up to 5 days; frozen mousse will keep well for up to 3 months (allow the mousse to rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature before serving).
