Print Recipe

A creamy, not-too-sweet maple coffee mousse that elevates everyday ingredients into a delightful and elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 4 ounces mascarpone or full-fat cream cheese, softened slightly
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, plus more to taste
  • 1/3 cup strong brewed espresso or concentrated coffee, cooled completely
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin + 2 tablespoons cold water for blooming
  • Optional toppings: crushed maple cookies, chopped pecans, shaved dark chocolate, a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until spongy. Microwave for 10 seconds until just melted, then let it cool for 1 minute.
  2. Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Slide the bowl into the fridge while you prep the base.
  3. Make the maple coffee base: In another bowl, whisk mascarpone with maple syrup, espresso, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  4. Add gelatin: While whisking the maple coffee base, stream in the melted gelatin and blend until fully combined.
  5. Fold it together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the maple mixture in two additions until no streaks remain.
  6. Chill: Spoon or pipe into small glasses or ramekins. Chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  7. Garnish and serve: Top with toppings of your choice and enjoy.

Notes

Ensure coffee is completely cooled before mixing to preserve the airy texture.
