I am just about to celebrate a very important birthday in my life & was looking for some yummy cold sweets to make for a dinner party! Does anyone out there have a good, sound recipe for coffee mousse please?

haven't a coffee mousse but have a Coffee semifreddo

300g mascarpone
400g quark
4 Tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
50ml Tia Maria liqueur
Chocolate scrolls or flakes (optional)
Hot espresso (strong black) coffee, for serving

Beat mascarpone and quark in a bowl with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Beat in icing sugar, vanilla extract and liqueur.
Spoon into ramekins or moulds and freeze for at least 2 hours (the desserts can be made a day or two in advance but any longer and the mixture goes grainy).

Transfer to fridge 1 hour before serving to allow the mixture to soften.
To release puddings from moulds dip them one at a time into a sink of hot water for just a second, then quickly run a flat-bladed knife between mould and pudding and turn the pudding out onto a serving plate.

Garnish with chocolate scrolls or flakes, if wished, and serve with small cups of piping hot espresso coffee to pour over the semifreddo.
