Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
- 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 pieces Ladyfinger biscuits
- 1.5 cups Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate (shaved, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add cold heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip as the cream can turn grainy. Set aside half a cup of the whipped cream for topping later.
In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, the remaining 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in thirds, being careful to maintain the light, airy texture. This is your cappuccino mousse.
Briefly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the cooled brewed coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not falling apart.
In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start layering. Begin with a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by a generous layer of cappuccino mousse.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of mousse on top.
Spread the reserved whipped cream over the top layer of mousse for a smooth finish.
Dust the top with cocoa powder using a fine sieve and garnish with shaved dark chocolate for an elegant touch.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set before serving.
