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. 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.
  2. Whip Egg Whites In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Combine Mixtures Gently fold the egg whites into the dulce de leche mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
  4. Chill Mousse Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  5. Serve Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • For best texture, be gentle when folding the whipped cream and egg whites into the dulce de leche mixture to maintain airiness.
  • Chilling for at least 2 hours is essential to allow the mousse to set properly.
  • Optional garnishes like cocoa powder or whipped cream add an extra touch of flavor and presentation appeal.
