How to Make Microwave Mocha Mousse For Two

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, ensuring no lumps form.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg yolks until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually whisk the yolk mixture into the chocolate coffee mixture.
  6. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat this process until the mixture is slightly thickened (about 1-2 minutes total, depending on your microwave).
  7. Remove from microwave and gently fold in 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks.
  8. Divide the mousse into two serving dishes.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and chill completely.
