Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Nutella
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
Toppings
- Chocolate cream cookies (such as Oreos), pureed
- Mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls
- Fresh raspberries
- Whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
- Whip Cream Cheese and Nutella: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and Nutella together for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring to scrape the sides of the bowl frequently. The softened cream cheese helps achieve a smooth blend with the Nutella.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then, gently fold in the powdered sugar to sweeten the whipped cream evenly.
- Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the sweetened whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture until fully combined and no white streaks remain, maintaining the mousse’s airy texture.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the mousse until ready to serve. Before serving, top with additional whipped cream, chocolate curls or mini chocolate chips, pureed chocolate cream cookies, and fresh raspberries for an elegant presentation and added texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the mousse.
- Gently folding whipped cream into the mixture preserves the mousse’s light texture.
- For added flavor, you can swirl some extra Nutella on top during serving.
- The mousse can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept chilled.
- Pureed chocolate cream cookies add a slight crunchy texture contrast.
