Chocolate Cappuccino Mousse Recipes

CAPPUCCINO MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips - either in the microwave, 1-1 1/2 minutes, or stovetop in a small double boiler. Mix whipping cream, coffee granules, sugar and vanilla (and coffee liquer if you are using) in a large bowl until the coffee granules dissolve. Beat with electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted.
• Remove & reserve 1 1/2 cups of the coffee whipped cream.
• Gently fold the melted chocolate into the remaining whipped cream until well blended. Spread this evenly in the crust.
• Spread and swirl the coffee whipped cream over the mousse. Chill until set. This will take at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or 30 minutes in the freezer.
• Garnish & serve.
