How to Make Coffee Mascarpone Cream: Instructions
Step 1) - To make coffee mascarpone cream, first make 40 ml (~3 tablespoons) of espresso coffee and let it cool. Meanwhile whip 150 ml (~½ cup) of heavy whipping cream and set it aside. Now place in a bowl 250 g (9 oz) of mascarpone, 150 g (1 ¼ cups) of powdered sugar, a pinch of salt and the cold coffee. Mix and combine all the ingredients.
Step 2) - Move the mixture in a stand mixer bowl and mix all the ingredients for ⅘ minutes or until you have a smooth and soft cream.
Step 3) - Add the whipped cream little by little to the mixture, stirring gently, with a movement from the bottom upwards.
Step 4) - Now your delicious coffee mascarpone cream is ready. Cover it with cling film and leave in the refrigerator until ready to serve. When it's time to serve this delicious dessert, gently remove the cling film and fill some little cups such as our Chocolate Cookie Cups.
How to Make Chocolate Cookie Cups
Step 1) - Now we'll show you how to make delicious cups made with dark chocolate cookies. In the end you can break the cups and eat them with coffee mascarpone cream! To make them first melt 150 g (1 ¼ stick) of unsalted butter in a double boiler. Then pour it in a food processor with 400 g (~1 pound) of dark chocolate cookies.
Step 2) - Blend the chocolate cookies and butter until smooth.
Step 3) - Set the mixture into a bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for ½ an hour, so that it would be easier to mold. Meanwhile, cover the inside of some silicone cups with cling film. Then mold the mixture into the bowls forming a layer of about ½ inch, making sure that it sticks. Now put the Chocolate Cookie Cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Step 4) - Just before serving, fill the chocolate cookie cups with the cream, sprinkle with cocoa powder, then decorate with raspberries.
