Delight with coffee mousse
- Prepare the coffee mixture:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in 50 ml of water, making sure there are no lumps. This concentrated coffee mixture will give our mousse its characteristic flavor.
- Mix cornstarch and sugar:
- In another bowl, mix the cornstarch and sugar. This mixture will help thicken our mousse, giving it that perfect texture.
- Heat the milk:
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and heat it over medium heat. You want the milk to be warm but not boiling.
- Mix the ingredients:
- Once the milk is hot, add the coffee mixture to the saucepan, stirring well to combine. Then slowly add the cornstarch and sugar mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Thicken the foam:
- Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. This process should take about 5 to 7 minutes. When the mixture coats the back of a spoon, it is done.
- Cool & Set:
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Then pour the mousse into individual plates or a large bowl. Cover with cling film, making sure that the foil touches the surface of the mousse to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate:
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until completely firm. For best results, it is recommended to leave it overnight.
- Serve:
- Once ready, the Mousse Delight is ready to serve. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate chips or whipped cream for an extra kick.
Advice:
- For a stronger tasting coffee, you can adjust the amount of instant coffee to your liking.
- Make sure to stir continuously while cooking to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture.
