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
- 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.
- Add Sweetness: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, blending until fully incorporated. This will sweeten the base while keeping it light.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
