Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar

Flavor Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Pineapple Puree
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Garnish

  • Fresh Pineapple Chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This is crucial to ensure your mousse has a silky texture without any lumps.
  2. Add Sweetness: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, blending until fully incorporated. This will sweeten the base while keeping it light.
  3. Incorporate the Flavors: Add the pineapple puree, coconut cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Blend well until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This step is key for that airy texture we all love in mousse.
  5. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; this keeps your mousse light and fluffy.
  6. Chill and Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese for easier blending.
  • Don’t Overmix the whipped cream when folding.
  • Chill Your Tools to achieve better whipped cream.
  • Garnish Creatively with fresh fruit or toasted coconut.
  • Adjust Sweetness according to your taste before chilling.
