In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the milk, sugar and coffee until the milk is hot, but not boiling and the sugar is dissolved. Place the chocolate chips in a blender. Pour the hot milk over the chips, and run the blender on high until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the egg whites and run the blender on high until light, about 1 minute. Transfer the mousse to 4 small serving cups, or if you want to be really impressive, put mousse into individual martini glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 3 hours.
