Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
Toppings (Optional)
- Chocolate shavings or crushed hazelnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Nutella Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Nutella, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder together until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using a mixer until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is light and airy.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture in batches, making sure to combine thoroughly but without deflating the whipped cream. This creates a light and fluffy mousse texture.
- Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set and develop flavor.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, top the mousse with optional chocolate shavings or crushed hazelnuts for extra texture and garnish.
Notes
- This mousse is rich and decadent—serve in small portions to savor the flavor.
- You can prepare the mousse up to 24 hours in advance and keep it refrigerated.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy whipping cream with whipped topping.
