A quick and effortless twist on the classic Italian dessert, this Easy Tiramisu Mousse combines creamy mascarpone and whipped heavy cream with rich espresso for a light, airy treat. Finished with a dusting of cocoa powder, it’s perfect for a no-bake indulgence that captures the beloved flavors of traditional tiramisu in mousse form.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Mousse

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup strong espresso, cooled

For Garnish

  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream and Mascarpone: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip them together until the mixture forms soft peaks and is smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in Espresso: Gently fold the cooled espresso into the mascarpone and cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the mousse. Mix until the espresso is fully incorporated, creating a light coffee-flavored mousse.
  3. Chill the Mousse: Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving dishes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up slightly.
  4. Dust with Cocoa Powder: Just before serving, generously dust the tops with cocoa powder for a rich, chocolatey finish that represents the classic tiramisu look and taste.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso cooled to room temperature for the best flavor.
  • For a sweeter mousse, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar while whipping the cream and mascarpone.
  • Serve immediately after dusting cocoa powder to prevent it from absorbing moisture and clumping.
  • Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings or a few espresso-soaked ladyfinger pieces for added texture.
