A luscious and airy Dulce de Leche Mousse that combines rich caramel flavors with light whipped cream and egg whites for a perfectly smooth and creamy dessert. This no-cook mousse is easy to prepare and ideal for a delightful sweet treat served chilled.

Ingredients

Main 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

  1. Prepare Dulce de Leche Base: In a medium bowl, whisk the dulce de leche until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky texture.
  2. Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which will give the mousse its light and airy structure.
  3. Combine Cream and Dulce de Leche: Gently fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche mixture until well combined, then mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  4. Beat Egg Whites: Using a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form for optimal volume and stability.
  5. Incorporate Egg Whites: Carefully fold the egg whites into the dulce de leche mixture in two additions, taking care not to deflate the mousse, to maintain its light texture.
  6. Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set to allow flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.
  7. Serve: Serve the mousse chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream to add an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping to achieve better volume.
  • Use fresh eggs and keep the egg whites bowl clean and grease-free for best whipping results.
  • Fold mixtures gently to keep the mousse airy and light.
  • This dessert should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a vegan or egg-free alternative, consider using aquafaba in place of egg whites and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
