Protein Coffee Mousse
This Protein Coffee Mousse blends cold heavy cream, milk, espresso, protein powder, and dark chocolate into a light and fluffy dessert. The whipped cream folded gently into the coffee and chocolate mixture creates a smooth texture with a balanced richness and mild coffee flavor. Setting the mousse in the refrigerator allows it to firm up, making it an ideal make-ahead treat for a post-meal dessert or snack.
