Nutella mousse is a rich, creamy, and decadent dessert that combines the smooth, chocolate-hazelnut goodness of Nutella with the light, airy texture of mousse. This no-bake dessert is incredibly easy to make with just a few ingredients, yet it feels luxurious and indulgent. Perfect for special occasions or when you’re craving something sweet, Nutella mousse is a crowd-pleaser that can be prepared ahead of time and served chilled with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, chopped nuts, or fresh berries.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Prepare the Nutella mixture: In a separate bowl, gently fold the Nutella and vanilla extract into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter mousse, sift in the powdered sugar and fold gently until fully incorporated.
- Chill the mousse: Once the Nutella is fully combined, divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is firm and set.
- Serve: Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or chopped hazelnuts for extra flair.
