Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for extra chocolate richness

Instructions

  1. Soften and whip the cream cheese: Allow the cream cheese to reach room temperature. Beat it until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for the perfect mousse texture.
  2. Incorporate Nutella and vanilla extract: Add the Nutella and vanilla extract to the softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined to blend the hazelnut and chocolate flavors uniformly.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, adding lightness and volume to the mousse.
  4. Fold whipped cream into cheese mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella-cheesecake base, preserving as much air as possible to keep the mousse fluffy and smooth.
  5. Chill before serving: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least two hours to set and allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing without lumps.
  • Whip cream to soft peaks only to avoid graininess.
  • Fold ingredients gently and patiently to maintain mousse airiness.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding powdered sugar gradually to taste.
  • Chill sufficiently for best texture and flavor development.
