I know I have said this before, but puddings and cream based desserts like mousse are my favourite. I would always pick them over cake or cupcakes. And you all know how much I love espresso… I could easily have 3 a day!! So, this Espresso and Frangelico Mousse is just up my alley. Frangelico is an Italian hazelnut flavoured liqueur that tastes delicious on its own, combined with other liqueurs to create cocktails or, like in this case, in desserts. Hazelnut goes very well with coffee, so you can imagine how good this mousse tastes! And like all my favourite desserts, it is very easy and fast to make. If you like coffee, this dessert is for you! Enjoy!
