Chocolate Nutella Cheesecake Mousse
Description
The Chocolate Nutella Cheesecake Mousse combines softened cream cheese and Nutella whipped together until airy and smooth. Separately, heavy cream is whipped with powdered sugar to soft peaks and folded carefully into the chocolate mixture to keep the light texture intact.
The mousse offers a balance between the richness of cream cheese and the sweet, nutty chocolate flavor of Nutella, with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Chilling the mousse firms it gently, making it light but indulgent.
Optional toppings such as crushed chocolate cookies, mini chocolate chips, fresh raspberries, and additional whipped cream personalize the serving and add texture contrasts. This mousse works well as an individual dessert or part of a larger dessert spread.
Ingredients
- (1) ounce pkg. cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Optional Toppings:
- chocolate cream cookies (such as OREOS, pureed)
- mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls
- raspberries fresh
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip SOFTENED cream cheese and Nutella for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Make sure the cream cheese is softened so it will incorporate into the Nutella.
- In another mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in powdered sugar and mix together.
- Carefully fold sweetened whipped cream into the Nutella mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Chill until ready to serve. Top with extra whipped cream, chocolate curls, and more Nutella, if so desired.
