Coffee mousse is a special type of whipped dessert that originated from a drink known as "dalgona coffee" or "quarantine coffee."

Interesting fact! You can only get a delicate coffee cream mousse using natural instant coffee from Nescafe or another brand.

It is impossible to prepare a mousse dessert without coffee substitutes or low-quality products.

Previously, we told you how to prepare it at home:

Today, we're offering a new recipe with step-by-step photos detailing how to make your own sweet coffee mousse, which can be served as a standalone dessert or used as a frosting for cakes or pastries. You can make the coffee mousse alone or, like us, add a little whipped cream with condensed milk for a smooth, creamy flavor.

Please note! You'll need special heavy cream for whipping. This recipe won't work with low-fat Greek yogurt, as it won't produce the desired fluffiness, and the cream will remain smooth and glossy.

Coffee mousse – a simple recipe at home

Ingredients

Servings

Coffee (instant)

35 G
Sugar

120 G
Water

140 ml
Cream 35%

200 ml
Condensed milk

4 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine 35 grams of natural instant coffee (4 full tablespoons) and 120 grams of sugar.

Step 2

Pour 140 ml of cold water (from the refrigerator) into the mixture and stir thoroughly until the sugar and coffee are completely dissolved.

Step 3

Beat the coffee and sugar mousse for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture becomes lighter and round and fluffy, as in the photo.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the unsweetened cream with a mixer until thick.

Step 5

When the mixture becomes thick enough, add 4 tablespoons of condensed milk and beat with a mixer for a couple more minutes.

Step 6

Combine whipped cream with condensed milk and coffee mousse and mix with a spatula until a fluffy, homogeneous mass is obtained.

At this stage, you can also add spices to the mousse. Cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom pair beautifully with the coffee flavor.

Step 7

If you followed the recipe correctly, at this step you should have a stable and dense coffee mousse that is suitable for cake and any desserts.

Step 8

All that's left to do is decorate the mousse beautifully for serving. The easiest way is to spoon it into glass bowls and decorate. Suitable garnishes include:

chopped nuts;
chocolate chip cookies;
grated chocolate;
confectionery sprinkles;
coconut flakes;
almond petals;
thick topping or a little chocolate glaze.

The shelf life of this dessert is 72 hours, because it contains cream and condensed milk.

You can also make a great cake with a chocolate sponge base using coffee mousse. To help the mixture hold its shape better, you can add a little gelatin (dissolve it in a small amount of water first).
