Ingredients
Scale
- 40 gr (2 1/2 tbsp) Caster Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 200 ml (3/4 cup + 2 tbsp) Heavy Cream (Thickened Cream)
- 3 tbsp Instant Coffee Powder
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cacao Powder (optional)
- 1 tsp Gelatine Powder (with 3 tsp of water)
- 1 tbsp Instant Coffee Powder & Cacao Powder mixed (optional, to finish the mousse)
Instructions
- Separate the Egg Yolks and Whites. Place the Egg Yolks in a large bowl and the Whites in the bowl of your mixer. Set aside.
- Place the Gelatine Powder in a small bowl with the cold water, mix and set aside to soak.
- Add the Caster Sugar to the Egg Yolks and whisk until foamy and lighter in color.
- Place the Heavy Cream, Instant Coffee Powder, and Cacao Powder in a small saucepan and heat on low until the powders dissolve, stirring occasionally. Don’t let the cream boil.
- Pour the hot Heavy Cream over the Egg Yolk and Sugar while beating. Whisk well, then transfer back into the saucepan on low heat. Keep whisking until the cream thickens, then remove from heat and transfer to a large, clean bowl.
- Add the re-hydrated Gelatine to the cream and whisk until completely integrated. Set aside to cool.
- While the cream cools, whip the Egg Whites to stiff peaks.
- When the cream is cool, gently fold in the Whipped Egg Whites in 3 to 4 additions. Avoid overworking the cream.
- Pour the Coffee Mousse into individual cups or jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Optional: Before serving, sprinkle some Instant Coffee Powder and Cacao Powder over the mousses.
Notes
- This recipe uses raw Egg Whites, which may not be suitable for everyone.
- If you prefer a sweeter mousse, increase the Sugar quantity.
- Substitute Gelatine Powder with a Gelatine Sheet if desired.
- Unsweetened cacao powder will add bitterness; use less for a sweeter flavor.
