Mousse Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 25g of granulated sugar until pale yellow and slightly thickened.
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, strongly brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat until edges bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. Return mixture to saucepan and stir on low heat for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and let the custard cool to room temperature.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and remaining sugar until stiff peaks form, about 4-6 minutes.
- Gently fold meringue into the cooled custard until no streaks remain.
- Spoon the mousse into cups, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with coffee beans.

Notes
Ensure all equipment is clean and dry to whip the egg whites properly. Let the mousse chill for enhanced flavors.
