This rich dessert is an impressive way to end a dinner party. Jars are a fun way to tote and serve the mousse, but you can use custard cups, ramekins, or even teacups instead.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon unflavored powdered gelatin (from one 1/4-ounce packet)
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Fine salt
2 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons water. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale, about 1 minute.
  • In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup cream and espresso powder over medium until warm, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula. Gradually whisk warm cream mixture into egg mixture until combined, then return to saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium until mixture thickens, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in gelatin mixture. Press plastic wrap onto surface of espresso mixture and let cool completely (do not refrigerate), about 45 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup cream until soft peaks form. With a spatula, gently fold cream into espresso mixture. Divide among six 4-ounce containers. Cover and refrigerate until set, 1 hour (or up to 1 day). Before serving, whisk 1/2 cup cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Top mousse with whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder, if desired.
