Ingredients
Scale
For the Mousse:
- 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
- Preparation Steps: In a medium bowl, whisk the dulce de leche until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
- Creating the Mousse: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the dulce de leche mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
- Chilling and Serving: Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Make sure the heavy cream is cold for easier whipping.
- Be gentle when folding in the egg whites to maintain the mousse’s light texture.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on personal preference.
