Mousse cupcakes, or "mousse cups," are elegant, no-bake treats loved for their creamy texture and portability. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting these delightful desserts.
### Ingredients & Tools
You’ll need:
- Base: Crushed biscuits (e.g., Maria cookies, ~200g) melted with 50g melted butter.
- Mousse: 300ml heavy cream (chilled), 1 can (395g) sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Flavor Boost: Optional cocoa powder, matcha powder, or coffee (1-2 tbsp mixed into condensed milk).
- Tools: Cupcake liners, mixing bowls, an electric mixer, and a piping bag.
### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Base: Crush biscuits into fine crumbs (use a blender or rolling pin). Mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press 1-2 tbsp of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Chill for 15 minutes to set.
2. Make the Mousse: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. Gently fold in condensed milk (and optional flavorings) until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
3. Assemble: Transfer the mousse to a piping bag. Pipe a layer over the chilled biscuit base, filling each cup ¾ full. Smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the mousse to set. Before serving, garnish with biscuit crumbs, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings.
These customizable treats are perfect for parties or a quick sweet fix. Enjoy experimenting with flavors—from classic chocolate to tropical mango!
