Cheesecake Mousse Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
- ¼ cup (57.5 g) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Beat the Cream Cheese: In a stand mixer bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a perfect mousse texture.
- Add Sugar: Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the cream cheese while mixing continuously, combining the ingredients evenly until smooth.
- Incorporate Sour Cream and Vanilla: Add sour cream and vanilla extract into the mixture, mixing well to blend all the flavors seamlessly for a rich base.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture essential for the mousse.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully to maintain the airy texture without deflating it.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the mousse into a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and enhance flavors before serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature before beginning.
- You can add fresh fruit or a berry compote on top when serving for added flavor and presentation.
- Allow the mousse to chill longer if a firmer texture is desired.
- Use a spatula to fold in the whipped cream gently to preserve the mousse’s lightness.
