5-Minute Creamy Cheesecake Mousse
Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for a slight tang)
- Fresh berries or fruit (optional for garnish)
- Crumbled graham crackers (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Whip the heavy cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Mix the cream cheese: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes). If you want a tangy flavor, add the lemon juice at this step.
- Combine the cream cheese mixture with whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to carefully combine the two, ensuring it stays light and fluffy.
- Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. If you want to get fancy, top with fresh berries, crumbled graham crackers, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Chill (Optional): You can serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes for a slightly firmer texture.
Tips:
- Flavor variations: You can add different extracts like almond or coconut for a fun twist.
- Toppings: Feel free to garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to make it even more indulgent.
- For a chocolate version: Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder or melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture.
This Cheesecake Mousse is rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying, and you can make it in just 5 minutes. Enjoy!
