Ingredients
- 1½ teaspoons instant coffee (e.g., Starbucks Via)

- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese (or low-fat cream cheese)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate (for grating on top)
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee: Mix instant coffee with hot water and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Whip the cream: Beat cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled.
- Make the mascarpone base: In a bowl, beat powdered sugar and mascarpone until smooth. Mix in vanilla and cooled coffee to taste.
- Combine: Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until light and airy.
- Assemble: Spoon or pipe mousse into 6 oz serving glasses. Dust with cocoa powder between layers and top with grated chocolate.
