Ingredients
- Instant coffee (Nescafe): 35 g, about 4 tablespoons
- Sugar: 120 g, about 2/3 cup
- Very cold water: 140 ml, about 2/3 cup
- Heavy cream (33–36% fat): 400 ml, about 1.5 cups
- Sweetened condensed milk: 80 ml, about 1/3 cup
- Biscuits: 3 pieces
- Chocolate, for decoration
Method
Prepare the Coffee Base
In a large bowl, add the instant coffee, sugar, and very cold water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes smooth, thick, and frothy. This step creates the airy coffee cream that forms the base of the dessert.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream. Beat with a mixer until it becomes fluffy and forms stiff peaks.
Add the Condensed Milk
Gently fold the condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix from the bottom upward to keep the cream light and airy.
Assemble the Dessert
Prepare individual dessert glasses.
- Spoon a layer of the coffee cream into the bottom of each glass.
- Add a layer of whipped cream mixed with condensed milk.
- Crumble one biscuit per glass and sprinkle it evenly over the cream.
Decorate
Transfer the remaining whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe decorative swirls on top of each dessert.
Finish by grating chocolate over the top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Chill
Place the glasses in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This allows the mousse to set slightly and the flavors to develop fully.
Serving Notes
Serve the dessert well chilled. The contrast between the light coffee mousse, creamy layers, and biscuit crumble creates a balanced and satisfying texture in every spoonful.
You can prepare this dessert ahead of time, making it ideal for weekends, gatherings, or quick after-dinner treats.
Final Thoughts
This coffee mousse dessert proves that simple recipes can deliver big results. With minimal effort and no baking required, you get a creamy, flavorful dessert that feels both indulgent and refined.
Once you try it, it is easy to see why it becomes a regular weekend tradition.
