Introduction:
If you're short on time but still craving a light, indulgent dessert, this Coffee Egg Mousse is about to become your new favorite. Made with just two simple ingredients—eggs and coffee—this creamy, fluffy treat is completely free from flour, gelatin, and sugar. It’s naturally sweetened (if you choose to add a sugar substitute) and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. Perfect for keto dieters, coffee lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy a healthier dessert with minimal fuss.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs (very fresh)
1 tbsp instant coffee or 2 tbsp brewed espresso (cooled)
Optional:
1–2 tsp of natural sweetener (e.g., stevia, erythritol, or honey if not strictly sugar-free)
A pinch of salt or cinnamon for added depth
Directions:
Separate the Eggs:
Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites to ensure proper whipping.
Whisk the Yolks:
In a mixing bowl, beat the yolks with your coffee and optional sweetener until the mixture becomes creamy and slightly thick. Set aside.
Whip the Egg Whites:
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step is key to creating a light, mousse-like texture.
Combine Gently:
Gradually fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk-coffee mixture. Be gentle to keep the mixture airy and fluffy.
Serve Immediately:
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or small bowls. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans for presentation.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve fresh for best texture and flavor.
If storing, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours—though the mousse may deflate slightly.
Best served chilled with a small spoon and a sprinkle of cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa powder on top.
