Tips & Variations

• Make sure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth mousse.
• For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top before serving.
• Use good-quality Nutella or any chocolate-hazelnut spread you prefer for the richest flavor.
• If you prefer a sweeter mousse, increase the powdered sugar slightly in the whipped cream.

Storage

Store the mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best served chilled but can be brought to room temperature for a few minutes before serving if desired. Avoid freezing as it may affect the texture.

FAQs

Can I make this mousse ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the mousse up to 24 hours in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.

Can I use a different nut butter instead of Nutella?

Absolutely. Peanut butter or almond butter can be used, but note that the flavor and sweetness will change. Adjust powdered sugar to taste if needed.

Cheesecake Mixture

• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
• 3/4 cup Nutella

• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Whipped Cream

• 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream (chilled)
• 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

Garnish (Optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Whipped Cream: Combine chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl. Using an electric handheld mixer, beat on medium-high speed for about five minutes until stiff peaks form. Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator to keep cold.

4. Fold in Whipped Cream: Add one-third of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until incorporated. Repeat folding in the remaining whipped cream in two more additions, folding gently each time to maintain the light and airy texture.
5. Chill and Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving cups. You can serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a firmer consistency. For a more elegant presentation, chill the mousse and then pipe it into serving cups. Garnish with extra whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing.
• Chilling the heavy cream before whipping helps achieve stiff peaks more easily.
• For best texture, fold whipped cream gently to keep the mousse light and airy.
• This mousse can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.
• Use high-quality Nutella for the best flavor.
