FAQs

Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of instant coffee?

Instant coffee works best as it dissolves quickly and concentrates flavor without adding extra liquid, which can affect the mousse texture.

How can I make the mousse firmer?

Chilling the mousse longer helps it set. You can also whip the cream to stiffer peaks or add a small amount of gelatin for extra firmness.
