Dulce de Leche Mousse Ingredients
- 400 grams Dulce de Leche
- 250 ml Heavy Cream (cold)
- 2 large Eggs (separated)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (for egg whites)
Instructions
- Whisk Dulce de Leche: In a medium bowl, whisk the dulce de leche until smooth to ensure even texture in the mousse.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating the mousse’s airy body.
- Combine Cream and Dulce de Leche: Gently fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche mixture until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly but carefully to maintain lightness.
- Beat Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, adding volume and stability.
- Fold Egg Whites In: Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the dulce de leche mixture in two additions, taking care not to deflate the mixture to keep the mousse light and airy.
- Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set properly.
- Serve: Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are fresh and at room temperature for best volume when whipping egg whites.
- Use cold heavy cream to achieve better whipping results.
- Be gentle when folding whipped cream and egg whites to retain the mousse’s light texture.
- This mousse can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator to enhance flavors.
- For added texture or decoration, top with shaved chocolate or toasted nuts.
