2 Ingredient Nutella Mousse Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) Heavy cream cold
- ½ cup (160 g) Nutella
Instructions
- Soften the Nutella: Place Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl and warm for 10–15 seconds, just until smooth and slightly loosened. Stir and let it cool to room temperature. It should be fluid but not hot.
- Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Do not overwhip, or it may turn grainy.
- Fold gently: Add the cooled Nutella to the whipped cream. Using a spatula, gently fold until fully combined and smooth with no streaks. Work slowly to keep the mousse airy.
- Pipe or spoon into glasses: Transfer mousse to a piping bag or spoon into serving glasses. If the mixture feels soft, refrigerate it 30–60 minutes before piping.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or until fully set and fluffy.
- Serve: Top with chocolate shavings, chopped hazelnuts, or your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes
- Texture: Since this is a two-ingredient mousse, and not a traditional mousse made with eggs or gelatin, the texture will be slightly denser and creamier rather than ultra-light and airy, and it also won’t be as stable as a classic mousse, but it’s still smooth, rich, and delicious.
- Make it more stable: For a firmer, more stable mousse, you can fold in 2–3 tablespoons mascarpone or cream cheese, or mix in 60–80 g melted and cooled dark chocolate, which helps the mousse set more firmly while adding deeper chocolate flavor.
- Nutella options: You can use store-bought Nutella, homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread, or for a lighter option, try my healthier homemade Nutella recipe, which works just as well in this mousse.
- Heavy cream: Use heavy cream with at least 35–38% fat for best structure.
- Mix-In Ideas: You can easily upgrade this dessert by folding in mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, or even a spoonful of espresso powder or caramel sauce before chilling.
- Toppings: Serve with chocolate shavings, chopped toasted hazelnuts, fresh berries, whipped cream, crushed cookies, or a light dusting of cocoa powder for extra texture and flavor.
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
