Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coffee

Step 3: Add the Creamy Element
Add mascarpone cheese (or Greek yogurt). This creates the rich, silky mousse texture.

Whisk vigorously using a fork or small whisk to incorporate air. Mix until the texture becomes smooth, creamy, and lightly fluffy.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Transfer into a small serving glass. Dust with cocoa powder or add chocolate shavings, coffee beans, or cinnamon.
