With just a few ingredients and the help of your KitchenAid, preparing this dessert is as easy as letting the mixer do all the work: from whipping the cream to mixing the ingredients to the perfect smooth and creamy texture that makes these mousse cups so delightful.
Here's the step-by-step video tutorial – you'll see how easy it is! You can serve it in glasses (which looks super elegant), but mini-cocottes also work great.
Ingredients
- 20-40 g cookies (such as Maria or Digestive biscuits)
- 200 ml heavy whipping cream
- 200 g cream cheese (such as Philadelphia)
- 150 g lemon curd (Lemon Curd Tiptree)
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 tsp Madagascar vanilla extract
- 75 g powdered sugar
Preparation
- Crush the cookies in a food processor or with a mortar and pestle until they are small chunks (not fine powder).
- Distribute the crushed cookies evenly in the serving glasses or cups.
- Place the heavy cream in the KitchenAid and whip on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Switch from the whisk attachment to the paddle attachment.
- Add the cream cheese, lemon curd, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and powdered sugar to the whipped cream and mix on low speed (level 2) until smooth and uniform.
- Pour the lemon-cream cheese mixture over the cookie base in the glasses. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the mousse to set.
- Before serving, garnish with a lemon slice, a bit of whipped cream, and some fresh berries. Enjoy!
