Stir, and refrigerate until mixture begins to set. Whip the cream and fold it into the custard. Pour mixture into a 2 quart melon-shaped mold and chill.

To make the sauce, heat the coffee with the sugar. Stir the arrowroot or cornstarch into the cold water to dissolve it, add the combination to the coffee mixture. Simmer and stir until thickened. Add the Tia Maris and chill.

Unmold the moousse and pour the Tia Maris sauce over it before serving.
