Ingredients
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding optional, see notes
- 1 container 8 ounces whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat the heavy cream and instant vanilla pudding for 2-3 minutes on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high speed. Beat until the cream has doubled in size and just barely reached soft peaks.
- Add the whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste to the bowl with the whipped cream. Continue beating on medium-high speed until well combined– about 1 minute. If the mousse is too thick, add another 1-2 tablespoons of cream.
- Transfer to your serving bowls and garnish with fresh berries, chocolate curls, or toasted nuts. Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
