How to Make Black Coffee Mascarpone

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks with 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  2. Add 1 cup (250g) mascarpone cheese and 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently whisk in 1/2 cup (120ml) strong brewed coffee, 1 tablespoon brandy (optional), and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional).
  4. In a separate clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coffee and mascarpone mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Divide the mousse into small coffee cups or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  7. Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving. White coffee cups are recommended for a beautiful presentation!
