The glasses with coffee mousse and mini chocolate cakes are elegant and scenic, a real treat for coffee lovers, which along with whipped cream and mini chocolate cakes also satisfies the palate of the most demanding. A truly irresistible combination, even for those who are calorie conscious, as the Cérééal mini chocolate cakes are sugar-free and contain only natural flavors. I haven’t added sugar to the cream either, as it is already good as it is, naturally. There is just a bit of sugar to balance the bitter taste of the coffee, but if you prefer, you can omit it.
This dessert is perfect for all occasions and is very easy to prepare. Cut the mini cakes into cubes, whip the cream, and whip the instant coffee with water and sugar. Then you just need to assemble the glasses and the dessert is ready!

Ingredients
- 8 mini chocolate cakes (Cérééal)

- 0.35 oz instant coffee
- 1.4 oz sugar

Steps
To prepare the glasses with Cérééal coffee mousse and mini chocolate cakes, cut the mini chocolate cakes into small cubes and set aside.
Cut the toasted hazelnuts in half and set aside.
Whip the cream, transfer it to a piping bag, and refrigerate.
In a tall container, place the instant coffee along with the sugar, add the boiling water, and whip everything with an electric mixer until a dense and very frothy mixture is obtained. Continue whipping until the mixture is cool again. It will take about 5-6 minutes in total.
Transfer the coffee mousse into a piping bag as well.
Prepare 4 glasses and create a layer of coffee mousse at the bottom of each one. Add a layer of mini cake cubes and then alternate dollops of whipped cream and coffee mousse. Sprinkle with chocolate chips as desired, then create another layer of mini cake cubes and finish with more dollops of whipped cream, coffee mousse, chocolate chips, and toasted hazelnuts.
Serve your glasses with coffee mousse and mini chocolate cakes immediately or store in the fridge until serving.
Suggestions
If you wish, you can replace the toasted hazelnuts with toasted almonds or pine nuts. If you don’t have dark chocolate chips, use chopped dark chocolate.
