Easy Tiramisu Mousse

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee (I use the Starbucks Via packs) 
• 1/4 cup hot water 
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold (see note) 
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (see note) 
• 8 ounces marscarpone cheese or cream cheese (low fat cream cheese is fine) 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 
• 1 ounce semi-sweet baking chocolate

*Notes: 

• Whipped cream note: you can substitute whipped topping for the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Use about 8 ounces, no whipping needed. Just skip step 2. 
• I used cream cheese because I can't always find marscarpone at my store. It's often in the specialty cheese section and is basically an Italian cream cheese. Use whichever you can find! 
• Coffee note: mine was strong instant coffee and I added a lot. Taste as you go and make this as strong as you like it. The color will vary depending on the amount of coffee used. 
• Powdered sugar note: if you use whipped topping and/or less coffee you may need less powdered sugar. Start at 1 cup and increase as needed.
