Coffee mousse recipe

You are here: Home1 / Recipe2 / dolci3 / Coffee mousse recipe

Coffee mousse

Mousse di caffé
The brilliant thing about this coffee mousse is its simplicity. All you need is four ingredients, a cup of strong coffee and an electric mixer.  No gelatine to complicate matters. Just mix all the ingredients and let them cool in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Decorate with chocolate beans and ready-made biscuit sticks and dessert is ready.

Ingredients

250 g ricotta
125 g mascarpone
2 egg yolks
3 tbsp powdered sugar
1 small cup very strong espresso

Chocolate beans and chocolate biscuit sticks to decorate

Preparation

Start by making the espresso coffee, in order to give it time to cool.
Beat powdered sugar with egg yolks until whitish
Fold in ricotta and mascarpone and stir by hand until smooth and creamy
Fold in the cold espresso coffee
Pour the mousse in serving glasses and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or more.
Decorate the coffee mousse with chocolate beans and chocolate sticks before serving.

If you want to make your own chocolate beans, bring 1 tbsp water and 1 tbsp sugar to the boil.
Melt 25 g dark chocolate over a water bath.
Pour the melted sugar in the melted chocolate while whisking vigorously
Set chocolate beans on a piece of parchment paper and let them cool, before spreading them on top of your coffee mousse.

      This should tide you over between one cup and the next.

    Super! You can do so much with combinations of fromage blanc, quark, cream, créme frâiche etc… and a little sugar… maybe a little zest… dash of lemon or lime… or both…. Isn’t life wonderful?
