Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4-6 servings
This recipe is so easy you'll feel like you must have cheated somehow to get such a stunning result from so little work.
There's a lot going on here in the flavour department - coffee, chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla and the salty, nutty flavours from the tahini and chopped nuts. Divine.

Ingredients
For the mousse
- 1½ tbsp instant coffee powder (not granules)
- 1½ tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 egg whites
- 90ml maple syrup
- 280ml double cream, chilled
- 50g roasted and salted mixed nuts, roughly chopped
- 5 amaretti biscuits (the hard variety), roughly chopped
For the tahini chocolate sauce
- 90g tahini, very well stirred
- 60ml maple syrup
- 1½ tsp soy sauce
- 1½ tbsp cocoa powder
- ¾ tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2¼ tbsp water
Method
Put the first six mousse ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and, on a medium-high speed, whip to medium-soft peaks. (Alternatively, whisk by hand, which should take about five minutes.)
In a small bowl, whisk all the sauce ingredients until smooth.
Divide the mousse between six bowls, then drizzle over some of the chocolate sauce.
Finish with a scattering of nuts and amaretti, and serve.
