Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 3/4 cup Nutella
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Whipped Cream
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream (chilled)
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
Garnish (Optional)
- Chocolate Shavings
- Extra Whipped Cream
Instructions
- 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.
- Beat Cream Cheese: In another medium mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium speed until creamy, about three minutes.
- Incorporate Nutella and Cocoa: Add the Nutella and unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese bowl. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
