Prepare your coffee:
If you don’t already have cold coffee ready, brew a strong cup of your favorite coffee and let it cool to room temperature or chill it briefly in the fridge. The coffee should not be hot or it will melt the mascarpone and change the texture of the mousse. For a refreshing summer twist, use iced coffee or add a few ice cubes to your cup before mixing.
Combine the base ingredients:
In a small bowl, cup, or mug, pour the cold black coffee. Add the instant coffee powder and sugar or sweetener. Stir gently but thoroughly until the instant coffee granules and sugar dissolve completely. This ensures a smooth base without gritty bits.
Add the creamy element:
Spoon in the mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt. The mascarpone is key to achieving the luxurious, creamy mouthfeel that mimics a mousse without the need for eggs or heavy whipping.
Whisk to fluff:
Using a small whisk or a fork, beat the mixture vigorously. This step incorporates air and blends the mascarpone evenly throughout the coffee, creating a light, fluffy consistency. While it won’t be as airy as a traditional mousse made with whipped cream or egg whites, the result is a satisfyingly creamy dessert with a pleasant, mousse-like texture.
Serve and garnish:
Pour or spoon the mousse into a small serving glass or bowl. For an added touch of flavor and presentation, dust the top with cocoa powder. You can also garnish with chocolate shavings, a few whole coffee beans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.
