INGREDIENTS USED IN VIRAL COFFEE MOUSSE
Coffee powder
Instant coffee, with its concentrated flavour and fine texture, serves as the backbone of the mousse, infusing it with a bold, invigorating coffee essence. Its ability to dissolve effortlessly ensures a smooth, velvety texture that’s essential for creating the perfect mousse. I have used Nescafe coffee.
Castor sugar
Beyond simply sweetening the dessert, sugar plays a multifaceted role in the mousse’s creation. As it is whipped together with instant coffee, sugar acts as a stabilizer, helping to create a light, airy consistency that’s reminiscent of traditional whipped cream. Its fine crystals blend seamlessly with the coffee, resulting in a smooth, homogenous mixture that’s both decadent and indulgent. Its natural sweetness balances the bold bitterness of the coffee. I use uttam castor sugar in my recipes.
Water/ Ice cubes
Blending the instant coffee mixture with water and ice cubes also helps aerate the mixture, creating volume and lightness in the mousse. The process of blending incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a fluffy and airy texture once whipped to the desired consistency.
Adding ice cubes to the bowl helps rapidly chill it, creating an optimal environment for whipping the ingredients together. Cold ingredients are crucial for achieving a light and fluffy texture in the final mousse. The small amount of water helps liquefy the mixture, making it easier to blend into a smooth and creamy consistency.
EQUIPMENTS USED IN MAKING VIRAL 2 INGREDIENT COFFEE MOUSSE
The kind of equipment you use when you’re baking makes a huge difference to the end result! I would recommend you to use good quality mixing bowls and other equipment so that your chocolate cookies come out delicious!
To mix all my ingredients together in, I’m using a strong blender which will ensure that the ingredients blend quickly and the consistency remains thick and not become too watery.
Not a single day goes in my kitchen when I don’t use a Silicon Spatula, this is the one I recommend. Same goes for my set of Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons.
