Light and Creamy Coffee Mousse
- 2 grams Gelatin powder
- 2 tbsp Water
- 80 ml Milk
- 1 tsp Instant coffee
- 10 to 15 grams Sugar
- 20 ml Heavy cream
- 1 if desired Whipping cream, etc.
- In a small microwave-safe container, sprinkle the gelatin powder into water from and let soak.
- Put the ingredients from into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave it a little over a minute at around 500W without plastic wrap.
- Dissolve the coffee by heating without letting it boil.
- Add sugar (if desired) to soaked gelatin from Step 1 and dissolve that into the bowl while it's still hot.
- Let it cool after blending it all together.
- Put the bowl in the refrigerator and let it chill for 20-30 minutes.
- If the mixture becomes too cool and hardens, you can either keep it at room temperature, or blend thoroughly with a whisk until it turns back into the mixture like the photo.
- In a different bowl, put the chilled heavy cream and blend until it thickens to about the same thickness as the mixture in Step 4.
- Combine the mixtures from Step 4 and 5, and mix evenly.
- Pour equal amount into the two containers.
- Put the mousse back in the refrigerator, and it's done once it's chilled and hardened.
- Place topping as desired.
- Roasted nuts, etc.
- bring about a different texture and make it delicious.
- Note 1 It's easier if you use coffee that dissolves well in cold water too.
- I also recommend adding a bit of liqueur (rum, Kahlua, etc.)
- to turn this into a dessert for adults.
- Note 2 The main, step-by-step photos were taken when I doubled this recipe and made it using a 200 ml capacity coffee cup.
- Note 3 The coffee bean shaped chocolate I used for my topping is Meiji's "Coffeebeat."
- It's about 100 yen.
