Pour the heated cream over the chocolate chips, add the espresso powder and let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes. Use a whisk or spatula to stir together until the mixture is smooth. Set aside. In another mixing bowl combine the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream, sugar and vanilla. Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Add the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture in 3 additions, gently folding in the whipped cream after each addition. After all of the whipped cream has been added, continue to fold until there are no more white streaks in the mixture and it is homogenous. Portion the mousse into serving dishes and chill, covered, for at least 3 hours or up to 12 hours. For the blackberry sumac sauce: Combine the blackberries, cornstarch, sugar and a splash of water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Once the blackberries begin to soften after a few minutes use the back of a spoon to gently break them apart in the pan. Continue to simmer for 4-5 more minutes until the mixture has thickened. Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discard the seeds and pulp (or save to throw in a smoothie!). Stir in the sumac and lemon juice. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Remove the mousse and sauce from the fridge, pour the sauce over the mousse right before serving and garnish with sliced blackberries and finely chopped chocolate. Enjoy!
