Description

Delicious and creamy Nutella Mousse Cups made with a smooth blend of cream cheese, Nutella, and whipped cream. This no-bake dessert is light, fluffy, and perfect for a quick yet indulgent treat, requiring only a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Base Mixture

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup Nutella
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, unsweetened

Instructions

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth texture as the base for your mousse.
  2. Add Nutella and Vanilla: Add Nutella and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue beating until all the ingredients are smooth and fully blended together, creating a rich and creamy mixture.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate smaller bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer on low-medium speed until soft peaks form. Then add granulated sugar and cocoa powder, increase the mixer speed to high, and whip until stiff peaks are achieved for a light and airy texture.
  4. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture until combined with no visible streaks, maintaining the mousse’s airy consistency.
  5. Transfer and Chill: Spoon or pipe the mousse into individual serving cups. The mousse will be soft at this stage, so refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow it to set and firm up properly.
  6. Serve: Serve the mousse as is or top with optional garnishes such as whipped cream or shaved chocolate for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • For best results, chill the mousse for several hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
  • Use high-quality Nutella or any good hazelnut spread for richer flavor.
  • You can customize toppings with fresh berries, nuts, or chocolate shavings as desired.
  • This dessert is best served cold, directly from the refrigerator.
