For the Coffee Mousse
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- Prepare the coffee mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules and sugar in hot water. Stir well until fully dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the chilled heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine coffee and cream: Gently fold the coffee mixture into the whipped cream, using a spatula to combine evenly without deflating the cream.
- Chill the mousse: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and develop flavor.
- Serve: Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or coffee beans for presentation.
Notes
- Make sure the heavy cream is well chilled before whipping to achieve the best volume and texture.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and instant coffee to taste for a sweeter or more intense coffee flavor.
- For a richer taste, you can use espresso powder instead of instant coffee granules.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator, which helps the flavors meld nicely.
