Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee granules and vanilla extract. Stir until the coffee granules dissolve to form a smooth paste.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream and granulated sugar together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer. Whisk until soft peaks form.
Add the coffee paste and mascarpone cheese to the whipped cream. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly between the portions.
Dust the mousse with cocoa powder using a fine sieve for an elegant finish.
Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings if desired.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
