Coffee Cake Mousse (Passover)

This dessert is for the serious chocolate and coffee lovers among us that are looking for that flavor potency. The smooth texture of the resulting mousse accompanied by the crunch of the almond chocolate crumble definitely gives off coffee cake vibes, while still being light enough to enjoy after a hearty seudah.

Directions

To Make the Crumbs

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

  2. Mix almond flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Pour in oil and mix until crumbs form. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for seven minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Return to the oven for another five minutes. The mixture will be soft and mushy. Let it rest on your counter for 10 minutes, until it cools and hardens.

  3. Using your fingers or a fork, crush into coarse crumbs. Stir in chocolate chips.

To Make the Mousse

  1. Beat parve whipping cream with confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form.

  2. Place coffee, marshmallows, and chocolate into a pot over low heat, whisking constantly to prevent burning. Once everything is melted, whisk in vanilla sugar and salt. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. Fold the coffee mixture into the whipped cream a third at a time. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  4. Immediately before serving, top mousse with a generous amount of crumbs and enjoy!

How can I make this recipe more of a regular chocolate mousse but with just a hint of coffee? I don't want to throw off the liquid ratio.

If you don't want to use coffee, I think you could substitute for cocoa powder or a mixture of the 2 instead.

That means it's a keeper (and so simple too!)

Deana Blumenthal

if not for Pesach, can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

Can you substitute marshmallow fluff for mini marshmallows?
