Coffee Tiramisu Mousse
An airy, coffee-flavored mousse with mascarpone that’s lighter than air but packs all the punch of tiramisu.
Ingredients
For the mousse:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee cooled
- 1 tbsp coffee liqueur optional
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup whipped cream for folding in
For garnish:
- Cocoa powder optional
- Coffee beans optional
Instructions
Prepare the coffee mixture:
- Mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, coffee, coffee liqueur, and vanilla until smooth.
Whip the cream:
- In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold together:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and airy.
Assemble and chill:
- Spoon the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Garnish and serve:
- Dust with cocoa powder or add a coffee bean for that "I tried" touch.

- For extra decadence, layer the mousse with coffee-soaked biscuits.
- Make it ahead! The mousse only gets better after sitting for a few hours.
