Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate cookies with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan to form the cake base.
-
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the mousse.
-
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until melted and smooth.
-
Dissolve the instant coffee granules in 2 tablespoons of hot water, then add it to the chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
-
Pour the mousse over the cooled crust in the springform pan, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
-
Before serving, gently release the sides of the springform pan and transfer the cake to a serving platter. Dust the top with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
-
Slice the Cappuccino Mousse Cake into generous portions and savor each bite of the luscious, airy mousse paired with the rich chocolate crust.
