Dulce de Leche Mousse with Thermomix

Preparation of Dulce de Leche Mousse with Thermomix

Step 1: Whip the Cream

1. The first step is to whip the heavy cream until you achieve firm peaks. This will give the mousse an airy texture.
2. Place the butterfly in the Thermomix glass and pour the thick cream.
3. Beat at speed 3.5 until firm peaks form. (It is important to monitor the process to prevent the cream from turning into butter).
4. Once ready, reserve the whipped cream in another container.

Step 2: Mix the Cream Cheese and Dulce de Leche

1. This step is essential to give the mousse its characteristic dulce de leche flavor, mixed with the softness of cream cheese.
2. Without the butterfly, place the cream cheese and half of the dulce de leche in the glass.
3. Mix for 20 seconds at speed 3 or until you obtain a creamy texture. It is important not to overmix to prevent the mixture from becoming liquid.

Step 3: Add the Whipped Cream

1. Incorporating the whipped cream in parts allows the mousse to be fluffy and well integrated.
2. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture in two parts.
3. Mix for 10-15 seconds at speed 2 in each batch, or until well incorporated. If necessary, finish mixing gently with the spatula.

Step 4: Prepare the Remaining Dulce de Leche

1. This step is optional, but it will give an extra touch of flavor and texture to the dessert.
2. Place the remaining dulce de leche in the glass and beat for 10 seconds at speed 3 to soften it and make it smoother.

Step 5: Assembling the Mousse

1. Assembly is the final touch. Placing the dulce de leche at the bottom of the glass gives it an attractive visual appearance and an intense flavor as you begin to enjoy the mousse.
2. Place about 2 tablespoons of dulce de leche in the bottom of each serving glass.
3. Add the dulce de leche mousse on top and drizzle a little more dulce de leche on top.

Step 6: Cooling and Service

1. For the mousse to acquire the ideal consistency, it is essential to let it cool.
2. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour before serving.
3. Enjoy this delicious dulce de leche mousse made with Thermomix!
