Vanilla Whipped Cream Mousse
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional for added flavor)
- 1 packet (7 grams) gelatin (optional for added stability)
- 2 tablespoons cold water (if using gelatin)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Gelatin (Optional):
- If you are using gelatin for added stability, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Once bloomed, microwave the gelatin for 10-15 seconds until melted. Let it cool slightly but ensure it stays liquid.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add Gelatin (Optional):
- If using gelatin, with the mixer on low speed, slowly drizzle the melted gelatin into the whipped cream. Once all the gelatin is added, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe or Spoon into Serving Glasses:
- Transfer the whipped cream mousse into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the mousse into individual serving glasses in a swirling motion to create a beautiful presentation. Alternatively, you can spoon the mousse into the glasses.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and develop its flavors.
- Serve:
- Serve the vanilla whipped cream mousse chilled. You can garnish with fresh berries, a sprig of mint, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.
Enjoy this light and fluffy vanilla whipped cream mousse as a delightful dessert on its own or as an accompaniment to other sweet treats!
