Our Silky Coffee Mousse combines the rich flavors of espresso and dark chocolate into a creamy, airy mousse that’s as luxurious as it is delightful. It’s perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a moment of pure sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream: The base of our mousse, providing a rich and creamy texture.
• 1/2 cup milk: To thin out the mixture slightly, making it the perfect consistency.
• 1/4 cup espresso or strong coffee, cooled: This is where the deep coffee flavor comes from, so choose a good quality brew.
• 1/4 cup confectioners sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the other flavors.
• 4 ounces dark chocolate, melted and cooled: Chocolate makes everything better, and it adds a smooth richness to this mousse.

Directions:

1. Whip the Cream: Start by whipping the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This is crucial for getting that perfect mousse texture.
2. Mix the Flavors: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, cooled coffee, confectioners sugar, and melted chocolate. Ensure everything is well blended.
3. Fold It Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee-chocolate mixture to keep the mixture light and airy.
4. Chill and Serve: Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least two hours, or until the mousse is set and has a silky, firm texture.
