Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup Nutella
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Method

Step 1: Whip the Cream

Pour the cold heavy cream into a metal or glass mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to whip the cream until soft peaks form. This takes about 3–4 minutes. Don’t over-whip.

Step 2: Fold in Nutella

Add the Nutella to the whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold it in. Don’t stir too hard—fold slowly until it’s well combined and smooth.

Step 3: Spoon and Chill

Scoop the mousse into small dessert glasses or ramekins. Place them in the fridge and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps the texture set properly.

Notes

Make sure your heavy cream is cold—warm cream won’t whip well.
You can leave out the vanilla extract if you don’t have it.
This mousse is rich, so small portions go a long way.
Top with chopped almonds, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for a little flair.
