I still can't believe how easy and delicious this Coffee Mousse turned out when I made it last weekend! If you're like me and adore coffee in any form, you’ll love this too. It’s silky, fluffy, and has the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee flavor. Whether you’re looking for something fancy to serve at a dinner party or just craving a sweet pick-me-up, this dessert checks all the boxes.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Heavy cream
  • Milk
  • Espresso or strong coffee cooled
  • Powdered sugar
  • Dark chocolate melted and cooled

Method
 

  1. Start by chilling your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the fridge for about 10 minutes. Once cold, pour in the heavy cream and beat it with a mixer until stiff peaks form. This will give the mousse its light and airy texture.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the cooled coffee, milk, powdered sugar, and melted chocolate. Stir gently until all the ingredients combine into a velvety, smooth mixture.
  3. Take your whipped cream and slowly fold it into the chocolate and coffee mixture in batches. Be careful to fold gently, so you don’t lose the airiness of the whipped cream.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Smooth out the tops with a spatula if you like, but leaving them textured also works!
  5. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to marry and the texture to firm up. Serve chilled with a garnish of your choice, and enjoy every creamy bite!

Notes

Chill Your Mixing Tools: Cold tools help the cream whip faster and better, giving it that perfect fluffy consistency.
Careful with the Coffee Strength: Use freshly brewed, strong coffee or espresso for the best flavor, but be careful not to make it too overpowering.
Patience with Folding: Take your time folding the whipped cream into the mixture so it doesn’t deflate. It’s worth the careful effort!
