Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup espresso (or strong coffee, cooled)
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate (melted and cooled)

Instructions

  1. Whip Cream: Whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture for the mousse.
  2. Mix Coffee and Chocolate: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, cooled espresso or strong coffee, confectioners sugar, and melted dark chocolate. Stir well until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee-chocolate mixture using a spatula, taking care to maintain the airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Chill: Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls, then refrigerate for at least two hours or until the mousse is fully set and chilled.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for best flavor, but strong brewed coffee can be a good substitute.
  • Ensure the melted chocolate is cooled before mixing to prevent melting the whipped cream.
  • For a stronger coffee taste, increase espresso quantity to 1/3 cup.
  • Garnish with shaved chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant presentation.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed within 2 days of preparation.
