Easy Nutella Chocolate Mousse

Easy Nutella Chocolate Mousse made with just a handful of ingredients. This no bake dessert can be made ahead of time, so it’s perfect for entertaining. It’s gluten-free and egg-free too. 

Calling all Nutella fans! ❤️

If you’re looking for a quick and easy dessert that everyone will love, try my Easy Nutella Chocolate Mousse. It’s rich, creamy and oh-so-chocolately.

With plenty of whipped cream and a hint of hazelnuts from the Nutella, it’s a seriously delicious dessert.

I love easy desserts and trust me, it doesn’t get any easier than this no-fuss Nutella Chocolate Mousse. You only need 4 ingredients to make the mousse itself. It’s a delicious mix of Nutella, cream cheese, a dash of vanilla and loads of whipped cream.

You don’t need any eggs, but you’ll still get that creamy, mousse-like texture that everyone loves. And it’s gluten free too!

You can serve this mousse with almost anything. I love to add a dollop of whipped cream or mascarpone and a few fresh berries. It helps cut through the sweetness and makes for one impressive dessert.

I first made this recipe back in 2015, and it’s been my go-to dessert for entertaining ever since. Why? Because you can make it ahead of time, it comes together in a flash and everyone always loves it. So what are you waiting for?

TIPS FOR MAKING NUTELLA MOUSSE

• Make sure you use a full fat cream cheese. It will set up better and taste better.  Choose a block of cream cheese, not the spreadable kind, for the best results.
• This mousse has no gelatine in it, so make sure you whip the cream until stiff peaks form, so it sets properly. Leave it for at least 3 hours, or even better, overnight.
• Serve cold with a dollop of mascarpone or whipped cream and some fresh berries – whatever’s in season.
