This 2 ingredient Nutella mousse recipe is amazing. Just imagine Nutella + a light, silky whipped cream.
How to make Nutella mousse
The key to success here is the Nutella-whipped cream ratio. I experimented with different ratios to get to the perfect mousse. I wanted it to be light, airy and smooth in texture, but rich with lots of Nutella flavor.
In order to get that silky, smooth texture, you need to whip the cream gently. Over whipping will make it grainy. Don’t wait until the whipped cream is stiff. The perfect consistency is when it holds its shape, but still has soft peaks. You want it to have the texture of shaving cream.
When the whipped cream is ready, add it to the Nutella. Add only a few tablespoons at first, and whisk by hand to soften the Nutella. Then fold the rest of the whipped cream into the batter using a spatula until completely mixed and smooth. Taste it while you mix it, just because you can. The mousse will be soft at this point. Divide between serving glasses and chill in the fridge for at least two hours.
How to serve mousse
Since the mousse is already divided into serving cups and chilled ahead of time, serving mousse is incredibly easy to make in advance. Simply garnish and serve. Optional, but delicious variation: top with a thin layer of 1:1 chocolate ganache.
You can garnish the mousse with hazelnuts, Ferrero Rocher, whipped cream, or chocolate chips. These toppings compliment the flavor of the mousse and add a crunchy texture.
Do yourself a favor and go make this now. It took me 20 minutes, including washing the dishes!
