Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste
- 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or any sugar-free powdered sweetener of choice)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. Chill a mixing bowl and whisk attachments in the freezer for about 10 minutes before beginning. This helps create a stable whipped cream.
2. In the chilled bowl, add the heavy cream and start whipping on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the powdered erythritol and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla bean paste and mix until well incorporated. Transfer the whipped cream to the refrigerator to keep cool.
3. In a separate clean, grease-free bowl, add the egg whites along with a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This will give the mousse its light, airy texture.
4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the prepared whipped cream mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; use a folding motion by scraping down the sides and lifting up through the center.
5. Once fully combined and smooth, spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or dessert dishes.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
7. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a mint leaf before serving.
