Creating Decadent Coffee Mousse can be a straightforward process if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Coffee: Brew your coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whisk until glossy.
3. Separate Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly mix in the cooled coffee.
4. Combine: Fold the egg whites into the coffee mixture gently to avoid deflating them. Use a spatula to ensure a light texture.
5. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
6. Fold in Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee mixture in batches.
7. Portion the Mousse: Distribute the mousse into serving dishes or cups, gently tapping the bottoms to remove air bubbles.
8. Chill: Place the filled cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set properly.
9. Garnish: Before serving, top with dark chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for a stunning presentation.

With these clear steps, you will create a dessert that will wow your guests and satisfy your dessert cravings!
