This isn’t really a mousse, per se, but it has a fantastic, fluffy texture and chocolate and coffee sweetness that is very reminiscent of a traditional chocolate mousse. This makes a tasty cake filling, soft frosting, or is even great inside cream-filled donuts or the Cream Puffs that I posted earlier today… hence the picture!
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups Whipping Cream
- 3 tbsp. Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1-1/2 tsp. Instant Coffee Granules
Directions
- Beat whipping cream with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer.
- Gradually add cocoa, powdered sugar, and coffee granules while beating.
- Feel free to taste frequently as you add the sugar to make sure this has just the right sweetness for whatever you’re using it for. Just turn off the mixer before you stick your finger in, silly.
- Continue beating until very stiff, but stop before it turns into sweet, chocolaty butter.
