Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream Ensure it's very cold before whipping.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Can substitute with powdered sugar for smoother texture.
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened Use high-quality mascarpone for the best results.
  • 3/4 cup Nutella Use a good quality brand.
  • Cool Whip Optional for topping; homemade whipped cream can be used.
  • Ferrero Rocher Chocolates Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream and granulated sugar together using a hand-held electric mixer. Start on low to avoid splatters, then increase speed and beat until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese and Nutella together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the Nutella mixture into the whipped cream, starting by adding a little whipped cream into the Nutella to loosen it, then fold in the rest.
  4. Transfer the mousse into individual serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best flavor).
Serving
  1. Top each mousse with Cool Whip and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate before serving.

Notes

Store leftover mousse in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Can be made up to two days in advance. Non-dairy substitutes can be used for dietary adaptations.
