Ingredients
Biscuit crumb
- 500 grams chocolate coconut cookies, we use Romany Creams
- 60 grams butter approximately 4 tablespoons or 1/2 stick
- 125 ml lukewarm boiled water approximately 1/2 cup
- 5 ml instant espresso coffee granules; we use Nescafe approximately 1 teaspoon
- 5 ml fine granulated sugar approximately 1 teaspoon
Espresso mousse
- 500 ml whipping cream or double thick cream approximately 2 cups
- 50 grams fine granulated sugar approximately 60 ml or 4 tablespoons
- 7.5 ml instant espresso coffee granules approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons
- 60 ml Nestle cream approximately 4 tablespoons
Instructions
- Crush the biscuits as finely as you can and set aside until required.
- Melt the butter for about 15-20 seconds in the microwave.
- Dissolve the espresso granules and sugar in half a cup of lukewarm water and stir for 1 minute until the coffee and sugar are dissolved.
- Mix the melted butter into the biscuits thoroughly and add the espresso mixture to the biscuits very gradually.
- Only use enough until the biscuits are well coated but not soaked in the mixture or soggy. Leave for 10 minutes before using.
- Whip the fresh cream for 2 minutes then add sugar and continue to beat for another 2 minutes or until soft peaks form.
- Add the Nestle dessert cream and espresso granules and beat until combined and you reach smooth stiff peaks but not buttery consistency.
- Put half of the biscuit mixture at the bottom of the dessert dish then cover with half the espresso mousse. Add another layer of biscuit crumbs and finish with the rest of the mousse.
- Decorate your dessert as desired and place in the fridge to set for minimum of 5 hours or overnight.
