Coffee Mousse

This easy coffee mousse is just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes of effort for the creamiest, light and fluffy coffee latte in mousse form.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules ((4 tsp, see notes 1))
• 1/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup caster sugar or white granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon powdered gelatine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups whipping cream, cold
• Cocoa or chocolate shavings to serve

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the water into a medium saucepan over low heat and sprinkle the gelatine over the top. Stir constantly until you see the gelatine is fully dissolved. A silicone or rubber spatula is best here so you can rub any bits of gelatine against the side of the pan to help them dissolve. Don’t let it boil.
2. 2Add the coffee granules and sugar and continue stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Again, don’t let it boil.
3. 3Transfer the coffee mixture to a large mixing bowl and place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes until cooler than room temperature. It should be a thick syrup but not set to a jelly.
4. 4Once the coffee syrup is cool, pour the cold cream into a separate large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat to firm peaks. Be careful not to overwhip or it will become grainy - you just want it to get the point where a peak holds it’s shape, just.
5. 5Stir the vanilla into the coffee syrup.
6. 6Add one quarter of the whipped cream to the coffee syrup and stir to loosen.
7. 7Add another quarter of the whipped cream and switch to a folding motion. Gently folding until just combined. The aim with folding is to lift from the bottom and fold over the top so as not to knock out air.
8. 8Repeat two more times with the remaining cream. The mixture should feel light and fluffy and be able to hold it’s shape and not settle back into itself.
9. 9Divide the mixture evenly between small dessert glasses and chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
10. 10Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa to serve.
