Short Description

A lightning-fast, no-bake mousse bursting with rich coffee flavor and creamy mascarpone (or Greek yogurt). Perfect for an afternoon perk-me-up or an impromptu after-dinner dessert.

 Equipment You’ll Need:

• Small bowl or mug
• Spoon or small whisk

 Ingredients (serves 1 generous portion)

• 100 ml strong, cold black coffee (freshly brewed then cooled)
• 1 Tbsp instant coffee powder
• 1 Tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice
• 2 Tbsp mascarpone cheese (or thick Greek yogurt)
• Cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1.  Mix Coffee Base: In your bowl or mug, stir together the cold black coffee, instant coffee powder, and sugar until fully dissolved.
2. Add Creaminess: Dollop in the mascarpone (or Greek yogurt).
3.  Whisk to Fluff: Vigorously whisk or beat with a fork for about 30–45 seconds, until the mixture turns light, thick, and mousse-like.
4.  Plate & Garnish: Spoon into a small serving dish. Dust with cocoa powder or top with chocolate shavings, coffee beans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

 Extra Tips & Variations

• Stronger Kick: Double the instant coffee powder for extra boldness.
• Mocha Twist: Beat in 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate before whisking.
• Boozy Boost: Stir in a splash of coffee liqueur (Kahlúa, Tia Maria) for an adult-only version.
• Whipped Finish: Crown with a dollop of whipped cream for extra decadence.
• Flavor Play: Add a drop of vanilla or almond extract, or a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
• Iced Version: Use iced coffee—mousse will be looser but just as refreshing.
