Presentation
- Place a layer of coffee jelly at the bottom of a martini glass.
- Chill the glass in the refrigerator until the jelly is set.
- Add a layer of the coffee mousse on top of the jelly.
- Follow with a thin layer of the coffee mixture (the liquid or thin coffee layer).
- Finally, add a layer of the espuma (foam) cream on top.
- Garnish with gold dust and a sprinkle of coffee powder.
Notes & Tips:
- Be careful not to overheat the ganache when cooling it down before adding whipped cream, as it may cause separation.
- If using gelatin sheets instead of powder, make sure to bloom the sheets in cold water first.
- If you don’t have an espuma gun, you can create a similar effect by using a whipped cream dispenser or manually whipping the cream and coffee mixture.
