Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add erythritol. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes bubbly and resembles a caramel sauce, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and carefully stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Return the pan to the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, whisking until fully dissolved.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then pour it into a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
Beat the softened cream cheese into the cooled caramel mixture until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the caramel and cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
Divide the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set before serving.
