  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Bottom Espresso Layer:

  • 1 1/2 tbsp cold water
  • 2 1/4 tsp gelatin powder
  • 1/2 cup allulose
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • 1/2 cup water (or vodka)

For the Sugar-free Chocolate Espresso Mousse:

  • 2 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 tbsp hot water
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 6 oz sugar-free bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped if in bar form)

For the Whipped  and Toppings:

  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup allulose
  • 12 roasted coffee beans
  • espresso powder for dusting

Instructions

For the Espresso Gelatin

  1. Place 8 - 4 oz martini glasses (or any other type of glassware) on a tray or baking sheet. Set aside.  Place the cold water in small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface of the water and let stand until set, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the espresso powder and allulose to a small microwave bowl.  Add in the hot water and stir to dissolve the sweetener.  If the sweetener doesn’t dissolve completely within 1-2 minutes, microwave for 1 minute at 100% power and stir again until dissolved.
  3. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot espresso mixture. Stir until melted and smooth. Pour in the water (or vodka). Evenly divide the hot espresso mixture between the glasses and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours or until the jelly is firm to touch.

For the second layer:

  1. Combine the espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve and combine.
  2. Place 3/4 cup of the heavy cream and the semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook at 100% power in the microwave for 1 minute. Let stand for 1 minute. Whisk together until a shiny ganache forms. Add the espresso mixture. Let cool, almost completely, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Place the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the ganache into the whipped cream until no streaks of white remain.
  4. Place the mousse in a piping bag and evenly divide the mixture over each of the espresso gelatin layers. Smooth the mousse evenly to the edges of the glass using the back of a spoon. 

For the Top Layer:

  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form – it should be thickened but soft enough to fall from a spoon. Add the sweetener and whip until incorporated.  Top each glass with the whipped cream, filling to the brim.
  2. Place three whole roasted coffee beans on the center of each glass, mimicking the garnish of an espresso martini.  Sprinkle or sieve extra espresso powder over the whipped cream (you can also use unsweet cocoa powder). Serve immediately.
