Ingredients

🍶150g heavy cream for mousse
🥛150g whole milk
🍬30g granulated sugar
☕30g whole coffee beans
🥄2.5g gelatin sheet
🍳70g egg yolks approximately 4 large yolks
🥃50g BAILEYS ORIGINAL IRISH CREAM coffee liqueur

Instructions

1- Bloom Gelatin:

• Submerge gelatin sheets in cold water to bloom and soften.

2- Grind Coffee:

• Using the KRUPS coffee grinder, coarsely grind the coffee beans.

3- Heat Cream Mixture:

• In a light grey non-stick saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the granulated sugar.
• Stir over medium heat until it reaches a boil.

4- Steep Coffee:

• Remove from heat, add ground coffee, stir, and cover with plastic wrap to steep for 15 minutes.

5- Prepare Egg Yolks:

• Whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar in a glass mixing bowl until pale and smooth.

6- Temper Egg Mixture:

• Gradually whisk a small amount of hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture to prevent curdling.

7- Cook to Crème Anglaise:

• Return the tempered mixture to the saucepan.
• Stir constantly over medium-low heat until thickened, forming a custard that coats the back of a spatula.

8- Strain Mixture:

• Use the CUISINART sieve to strain the custard into a clean bowl, pressing to extract liquid from coffee grounds.

9- Add Gelatin & Baileys:

• Blend bloomed gelatin and Baileys liqueur into the warm custard, stirring until smooth.

10- Cool Mousse Base:
- Cool in the refrigerator, stirring periodically to prevent premature gelatin setting.

11- Whip Cream for Mousse:
- Whip 60g heavy cream to soft peaks.

12- Fold Cream into Mousse:
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cooled mousse base until homogeneous.

13- Pipe & Set Mousse:
- Transfer mousse to a piping bag and fill serving glasses.
- Refrigerate until firm.

14- Decorate & Garnish:
- Once set, top mousse with chocolate sablée cookies, a dollop of whipped cream, and a dusting of cocoa powder.
