Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon instant coffee has to be instant coffee, it will not work with regular!
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 tablespoon protein powder or powdered peanut butter. I used PBfit. This ingredient is optional.
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder, optional

Whipped Topping

  • ¼ cup vegan heavy whipping cream
  • ½ tablespoon powdered sugar optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add the instant coffee, sugar, and warm water. Use an electric hand mixer to mix for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture becomes super fluffy in texture, doubles in size, and the color changes from brown to tan.
  • Note: You can whisk this by hand, but I highly recommend using an electric mixer because this will take a long time and a lot of arm endurance to do this by hand!
  • Once you have created the coffee mousse, add in the protein powder or powdered peanut butter and cacao powder. Gently mix those in with the whipped coffee. Be careful not to overmix.
  • In a separate clean bowl, add the vegan heavy whipping cream and use the mixer to whip until it forms stiff peaks. Add the vanilla, and sugar if you wish, and whisk again.
  • Add the coffee mousse to a cup, then top with the whipped cream. Dust with cocoa powder, dig in, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the right equipment: I used an electric mixer to whisk the coffee mixture, and would highly recommend doing it that way. You could use a regular whisk too, but you’ll need a lot of time and arm strength to get the mixture to the perfect consistency.
  • Mix just enough: Just like with most desserts, make sure you don’t overmix, and just stir everything until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Make more than one serving: Use the 2X or 3X button in the recipe card to make this coffee mousse for more servings!
