Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons Hot water
• 3 Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the hot water and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until light and creamy.

Step 3

Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double-boiler method). Continuously whisk the egg mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly and reaches a pale yellow color.

Step 4

Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the dissolved coffee and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Microwave the gelatin mixture for 10 seconds, or until completely dissolved. Stir the liquid gelatin into the cooled coffee mixture.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 8

Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 9

Spoon the coffee mousse into serving glasses or bowls and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 10

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set properly before serving.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
