3-Ingredient Whipped Milk Mousse
Ingredients
-
2 cups Powdered Milk (Nido or similar full-cream milk powder works best)
-
1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk (chilled for at least 2 hours)
-
2 containers (approx. 14-16 oz total) Heavy Whipping Cream or “Media Crema” (must be very cold)
-
Optional: Cinnamon or cocoa powder for dusting the top.
Instructions
-
Prep the Base: In a large chilled mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream and the cold condensed milk.
-
Whip: Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed. As it starts to thicken, gradually add the powdered milk one cup at a time.
-
Build Volume: Continue beating for about 3β5 minutes. You are looking for the mixture to double in volume and become thick enough to hold a soft peak (it should look like a dense, heavy whipped cream).
-
Set: Pour the mixture into a glass dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Chill: While itβs “ready” in 5 minutes, it tastes best if chilled in the freezer for 30 minutes or the fridge for 2 hours to get that “melt-in-your-mouth” consistency.
-
Finish: Dust with cinnamon or extra powdered milk just before serving.
π‘ Pro-Tips for Success
-
Temperature is Key: The secret to getting it thick without gelatin is having your cream and condensed milk ice cold.
-
The “Air” Factor: Don’t stop mixing until it looks fluffy. The air bubbles trapped by the milk powder are what give it that structure.
-
Flavor Twist: If you want to cut the sweetness, you can fold in some lime zest or a splash of vanilla extract at the very end.
