Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 Cup Whipped cream cheese
- 1/4 Cup Cocoa powder
- 1/2 Cup Nutella
- 1/2 – 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Optional toppings:
- Flakey Sea Salt, Berries/Berry Jam, Toasted Hazelnuts, Chocolate Shavings, Whipped Cream, or Chocolate Pearls.
Instructions
- Add the heavy cream to a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment). Beat for 2-3 minutes, or until the cream has doubled in size but not yet reached the soft peak stage.
- Once the cream has thickened slightly, add the remaining ingredients and beat until it forms stiff peaks— about 3 more minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Again, start on low speed and gradually work your way up to medium-high until the mousse is evenly incorporated.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Top with fresh whipped cream, raspberries, chocolate chips, chocolate shavings or plain.
Notes
Be sure to start the mixer on low speed and work your way up to medium-high. If you go straight to high speed, you’ll end up with a mess!
You must use heavy whipping cream in this recipe—lower fat milks will not work.
You can use regular cream cheese instead of whipped but the mousse will be more dense— use whipped if you want a light and airy mousse.
