Description

A rich and creamy Protein Coffee Mousse that combines the bold flavor of espresso with smooth dark chocolate and vanilla protein powder. This mousse is a delightful dessert or snack, perfect for coffee lovers looking for a protein-packed indulgence. It is quick to prepare, requires no cooking, and sets up beautifully in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein Coffee Mousse Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (cold)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso (cold)
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar (or sugar substitute of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (or chocolate protein powder)
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate (melted and cooled, or sugar-free chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Whip the cream: Add the cold heavy cream to a chilled mixing bowl. Whip the cream using an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream holds its shape firmly.
  2. Prepare the coffee mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, cold brewed espresso, confectioners sugar (or sugar substitute), protein powder, and melted cooled dark chocolate. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Fold mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee mixture using a rubber spatula. Carefully combine the two mixtures to maintain the light and airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Chill and serve: Divide the mousse evenly among serving bowls. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until it is fully set and chilled. Serve cold for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use chilled equipment and ingredients for best whipping results.
  • Substitute confectioners sugar with erythritol or other sugar substitutes for a low-sugar option.
  • You can swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate protein powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure the melted chocolate is cooled to prevent it from melting the whipped cream.
  • Refrigeration is essential for the mousse to set properly.
