Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream Use fresh, quality heavy cream for best results.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the fridge for about 10 minutes to help the cream whip faster.
  2. Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into your chilled mixing bowl.
  3. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, start whipping on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high.
  4. Keep whipping until soft peaks form, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer. Monitor closely to ensure it's velvety and not grainy.
  5. Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness or add flavors like vanilla extract if desired.
  6. Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  7. Garnish with your choice of toppings and serve chilled.

Notes

Substitutions: Use whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free option but expect a slight flavor variation. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If making in advance, give it a gentle stir before serving.
