Chocolate Mascarpone mousse: For the night of you and me

Making simple dessert can make your life easier especially when you want to prepare a memorable dinner ^^.

One point that I think many people will love this recipe because it doesn't contain egg. I got many questions about the raw egg, well for me I don't mind eating raw egg and it's not easy to substitute it with other thing (the best way is, use pasteurized egg, but it's not easy to find). The mascarpone cheese gives the mousse smooth and creamy texture, the richness is right for the chocolate taste. The coffee adds some dept of the flavor, you can add more (up to 1/2tsp of instant coffee granules) if you want.
The fact that it can prepare ahead, it's easy to make it for party, you will only need the whipped cream and chocolate curls for decorating it before serving. 
Serve it after dinner with a cup of hot coffee is recommended ^^.

  1. That looks so good! I watched ‘Master Chef’ last night on UK TV.
    The dessert had lavender in it, in 3 places, not an easy task, it was judged to be superb, it looked stunning. Mousse wise St John’s London served the best one ever to me, a Berry mousse with shortbread.

  2. It looks really delicious. Is this the recipe for 2 people? Do I need to use the instant coffee granules in hot water or can I use regular brewed coffee? It is 80g cream before or after it is whipped? How much is it in ml about before getting whipped. Thank you

  3. Hi, Pernille
    This recipe is for 2 person.
    You can use regular brewed coffee (use 50 ml of it), and use can use 80ml of whip cream (before whipped).
