For a richer coffee flavor, use a coffee-infused whipped topping or add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the mixture. Toasting the coconut flakes before adding them to the mousse enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. If you don't have coffee liqueur, you can substitute it with strong brewed coffee or espresso, but reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon to avoid making the mousse too liquidy. For a vegan option, use a dairy-free whipped topping and ensure your coffee liqueur is also vegan-friendly. This mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for up to a week. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.
