Cooking Instructions:

Start by whipping the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. This will give your mousse its light and airy texture.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, cooled espresso or strong coffee, confectioners sugar, and melted dark chocolate. Mix these ingredients together until well blended.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee-chocolate mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to maintain the lightness of the mousse.

Once combined, divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the mousse to set.

Serve the mousse chilled. You may garnish it with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

For the best results when making coffee mousse, verify your heavy cream is cold before whipping for maximum volume. Additionally, feel free to experiment with variations, such as using instant coffee or adding condensed milk for extra sweetness.

This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, making it a convenient option for gatherings or special occasions. Enjoy your delightful coffee mousse!
