How to Make Cappuccino Mousse

  1. Freeze a metal or glass mixing bowl and beaters for at least 10 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of cold water and 1 1/2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin.
  3. Let stand for 1 minute to bloom.
  4. Cook over medium heat for about 1 minute, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder until dissolved.
  6. Set aside to cool slightly.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  8. Add the cooled gelatin mixture and stir until well combined.
  9. Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the freezer.
  10. In the chilled bowl, beat 2 cups of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  11. Gently fold the whipped cream into the espresso mixture until just combined.
  12. Spoon the mousse into individual serving cups or glasses.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
  14. Serve chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
