Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee granules

Instructions

  1. Whip the heavy cream: Using a mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, meaning the cream holds firm peaks when the beaters are lifted. Transfer this whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In another bowl, whip the cream cheese until it softens. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Next, stir in the instant coffee granules thoroughly until completely dissolved and evenly mixed.
  3. Combine mixtures: Add one-third of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix well to lighten the batter.
  4. Fold in remaining whipped cream: Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the mixture using a spatula, being careful to keep the mousse airy and light.
  5. Serve: Spoon or pipe the mousse into small serving bowls or dishes, then chill if desired before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, chill all ingredients beforehand.
  • You can adjust the coffee amount to taste for stronger or milder flavor.
  • Use cream cheese at room temperature to ensure easy mixing.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance texture.
  • Optional: garnish with coffee beans or a dusting of cocoa powder.
