Servings 4-6

Ingredients:

For the coffee mousse:

• 4 large eggs, free-range, separated
• 150 grams’ golden caster sugar
• 4 gelatin leaves, soaked in cold water
• 1 ½ tablespoons instant coffee granules, mixed with 2 tablespoons hot water to make a paste
• 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur, optional
• 110 ml of hot water
• 220 ml heavy whipping cream, whipped until stiff
• Chocolate sprinkles

For the caramel sauce (optional):

• 50 grams’ white sugar
• 50 ml heavy whipping cream

Instructions:

• In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and creamy.
• In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff.
• Remove the gelatin leaves from the water and squeeze out any excess moisture, then add to a small bowl along with the coffee, coffee liqueur, and the hot water. Mix well until the gelatin has dissolved completely.
• Combine the coffee mixture with the egg yolks mixture, then fold in the beaten egg whites and whipped cream, alternating between the two, using a large metal spoon to gently fold and incorporate the mixtures together.
• Spoon the mousse into small glass bowls/ramekins/cups and allow to set in the fridge for at least 90 minutes.
• Before serving, prepare the caramel sauce (or use store-bought) by heating the sugar and whipping cream in a saucepan together (over a medium heat) until you get a nice brown mixture. Carefully pour the sauce over each mousse and top with chocolate sprinkles.
• Serve and enjoy!
