Chilled mocha mousse in individual dessert cups dusted with cocoa and chocolate curls

A light, chilled mocha mousse made with cocoa, instant coffee, and whipped evaporated skim milk.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pour 3/4 cup evaporated milk into a large bowl and place it in the freezer until the milk begins to freeze around the edges.
  2. Stir together the sugar, cocoa, gelatin, and instant coffee in a small saucepan. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup evaporated milk. Let stand 2 minutes. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and the gelatin has completely dissolved. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  3. Beat the cold evaporated milk on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the cocoa mixture and stir gently until well blended. Pour into individual dessert dishes. Refrigerate about 1 hour before serving.
