Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 0.25 cup boiling water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee granules with the boiling water, stirring until the coffee granules are completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Stir the vanilla extract into the coffee mixture. Gently fold half of the coffee mixture into the whipped cream until combined.
Divide the whipped cream mixture in half. In one half, fold in the melted chocolate until fully integrated to create the chocolate layer.
In the other half of the whipped cream, gently fold in the cocoa powder until well combined.
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chocolate cream and coffee cream alternately, starting with chocolate and ending with a swirl of both layers on top. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the layers for a marbled effect.
Refrigerate the mocha swirl desserts for at least 1 hour to set and develop flavors.
Before serving, sift powdered sugar over the top as a garnish. Serve chilled.
